gregmoeck Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 how often do you run Carbon? Link to comment
Chief Brody Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I usually will run carbon in my filter for about 24-48 hours a month. Link to comment
Chromis Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I've been trying to run it for 24 hours every week but it has ended up being more like every two weeks. Link to comment
Chief Brody Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I would probably cut it down to 1 time a month, I have read posts that indicate carbon strips trace elements. Do a search on this site and you will find many posts regarding this topic. Link to comment
quiksilver5768 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 It does strip some trace elements but if you use good reef carbon and do regular water changes, running it once a week is fine. By regular water changes i mean like every week to every other weel or so. Link to comment
