Aquaclear 50 Carbon Bag Ripped

Hey guys today I was cleaning my AquaClear 50 filter and noticed that the Carbon insert is ripped in the corner and cleaned it all up in tank water and folded the corner so it would be fine for now. Should I replace this with another Carbon insert or just buy a second sponge?

Just buy a second sponge. Carbon only is good for a few days anyway. It should just be used at the end of a medication cycle to remove any remaining meds, or to polish cloudy water under some circumstances, but then removed.

Totally agree with this......

Alright that what I figured. Replacing 1/3 of the media should also be fine without harm correct?

Should be just right.
