Washing out the filter pads sufficiently on a 2 week old tank?
I would have to wonder what they're washing out after only 2 weeks of
running.
A brand new set up *should* only have a couple small fish in it (if
using fish to cycle the tank - and there are better methods these days
to cycle without fish), so there shouldn't be enough gunk on the
filter media to be washing off after only 2 weeks.
