Biocube aquarium filter

Question
Hi, I have an 8 gallon Biocube.  I have 1 molly in there right now who has ich.  I need to treat with an ich treatment, but it says to remove the carbon from your filter.  With the Biocube filter, it has the charcoal inside the filter where you cannot remove it.  So, do I need to remove the whole filter for the duration of treatment?  Hope this is not stupid, I am still learning about all of this.  Thanks.  

Answer
Hi Allison,
Don't feel stupid. ;-)

I'm not familiar with the biocube tanks and filters. Is there a cartridge in the biocube filter? Is it removable? Is there any way you could cut open the cartridge and dump out the carbon? Again, I'm not sure how the biocube filter is and I'm just going off how more common filters are.

But see into some of the things I mentioned. And do your best to figure something out.

I hope this helps!
Karen~
