overhead stock filter - 3 layers , sponge, ceramic ring, charcoal (less than 2mm).

water will reach back the tank with no reservoir in the filter

What charcoal? Active carbon?

have you cycled the tank first before putting the fish?

I only cycled the water for 1 hour and put in the GF.

I don think it is active charcoal.. just bought a packet purigent ultimate filtration hopefully it could cleanse the tank..

Hope bro could let me know if the bag is harmful to the GF.
