Hi everyone!

 

Hope everyone is doing well.

I have a question. My fishs were sick so I turn my whole display tank to a quarantine tank .while I'm building the new 1. 

 

I was running. Red Sea activated carbon for a months time and had to remove it .since I was using seachem metroplex and focus.  It's been more than 3 weeks now . Fishs are all doing good .

 

Once I removed the carbon and packed it in a cap for the same tank water and it's been there for a while .

Would like to know if I could wash the carbon and put it back into the tank . Or I might need to put new carbon in .

Toss it.  If the fish were sick then I would start fresh.
