i would also do daily water changes, maybe 25%, untill it clears up, you gota keep the water pristine.

How long after doing whats recommend will it take to clear out?

pending temperature and your fish's response...Your clown's case is very advanced. It will take a while if he can withstand it.

I would stop the medicine about 3 days after the last symptom disappear.

When i remove the carbon do i replace it later with a new one or use the same one i took out?
