Lazaro Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I noticed that mostly all the Monthy Tank Profiles had carbon in their filtration system. What's y'alls opinion of having carbon in say your HOB penguin/aquaclear of your pico? Link to comment
reeferman-chris Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I ran carbon in my pico for about a year til I took the tank down. Worked great! Kept the water super clean! I changed mine out every 2 weeks. Chris Link to comment
ZoeS Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have carbon in mine, as well. It makes a bigger difference for water clarity than it does in my 28g, I find. I also feel better having it there because it is my frag tank, so it can get a bit slimy if I frag mushrooms. Link to comment
wtfe Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 i run carbon on my 3g. makes a world of difference, wouldn't go without it. i change about once a month. Link to comment
Lazaro Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I may as well ask about the other stuff like purigen and chemi-pure in a pico. Y'ALL dig that stuff too? Link to comment
kxi Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I may as well ask about the other stuff like purigen and chemi-pure in a pico. Y'ALL dig that stuff too? iv had better luck with a mix of purigen and phos-gaurd then i have with carbon, but the carbon doesnt hurt. my favorite is polyfilter though! Link to comment
madcaptains Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have carbon in all my filters to. If it can help you chose, I allways use the best I can find. yes it's often twice the price but I replace it less and I have the impression ( ) that it makes a better job. Link to comment
