Okay my fish has ick and i got ick-away to treat it but it say to take away the carbon in your filter so do i half to take away my filter cartridge? or what will it do if i dont take it away?
do i completely remove the filter
 
well once the tank is infected your in a pretty sticky situation, so what im saying is its hard to get rid of. First raise the water temp a bit and make sure your fish is getting at least 8 hours of sunlight a day. It would be best to get a new filter cartridge and some ick-out and do a 20% water change. Thats pretty much all you can do though and i cant guarantee your fishes survival unfortunately :( But remember to take out the fish for 24 hours when you add the ick-out
 
you can remove the cartridge itself until the ick is gone

You will have wasted money on treatment. Leaving the carbon in means filtering the medication out.

If you can feel the carbon inside the cartridge, but can't open it, just cut the top off and pour out the carbon.

~The fish are under enough stress, dirty water will only add to it. Don't remove the cartridge completely.
