Leaving the filter pad in should be fine... but you'll want to remove any carbon.
There's some carbon inside the pad. It's one of those all in one deals.

Question. I can get my hands on Chloroquine Phosphate from a doctor tomorrow. Can CP be used as a preventive QT treatment on new fish? If so, what is the recommended dose?
I prophylactically use CP on all new fish at a dosage of 40mg/gal (use a digital scale to measure). Just be sure the CP you use is US pharmaceutical grade. I will soon unveil a 10 day all-inclusive QT protocol which utilizes CP and two other drugs (easy to obtain.)
Good to know. I look forward to it. Also, I have a friend that recently opened a store. One system is 200 gallons, the other is 300. Some fish have ICH and or Velvet. What kind of dosing should be used? No inverts. Just fish.
I should have been more clear. I meant CP.Copper or CP treats both ich & velvet, so that would your friend's best bet. Many LFS treat their FO retail systems with copper. I just worry that some don't test (the copper level) as often as they should.

Can I add an Ammonia detoxifier now then?You shouldn't still be getting false point of sale if the Cu level really is that low. That sounds like actual ammonia in the water.
