As of last friday (11-27) I added the AC20 filter to my 10 gal tank. How long do I need to run it before I can remove the original filter unit (aqua tech)

I would say 3-4 weeks is the best.

...or, move your old media into the new filter...

You could also just move the filter pad from the 10 to the 20.

Sorry, Rue. Posted same time!

I agree with Rue and Lady hobbs!
That would be the easiest way!

i ran my biowheel and canister filter together for 6 weeks. I originally planned on going 4 weeks only, but i got busy with other stuff so i just let'm roll. I had no level bounces.
