So I have a bio cube 14. I’ve been keeping up on water changes. Swapping out the filter floss four days before a water change. And everything is great. Water params are at all the right levels. I even got some coralline algae finally growing. BUTTT I haven’t changed the chemipure elite bag or the carbon bag in months. Should I swap them out or let it be?

Hey Guys, Curious what chemical media you guys use/recommend, and how do you use it? In the past, I have run only chemipure elite in pre-made bags. But thinking to add carbon, phosguard/purigne, and chemipure eventually. Is anyone making their own bags, or just buy pre-mix? - Pro/cons to each? Is anyone regenerating their media? Thinking I could make my own carbon bags at least. M

The Chemipure blue I got is giving a smell, like of fish food. Is this normal?

Does Carbon dosing remove odors like Activated Carbon?
discchord posted a topic in General Discussion
I used the Red Sea Reef Mature kit to cycle my tank and have been quite pleased with it. I've got a ton of Nopox left over so I've been using that for my carbon dosing. Now I'm debating between switching to vinegar, or granular activated carbon, or possibly both. The clincher for me is which does a better job at odor reduction. Does carbon dosing even do anything for the odor? I've only ever dosed Nopox. I know a lot of people suggest activated carbon for this task, but I'm wondering if carbon is carbon and I'll get the same benefit from an appropriate amount of vinegar. Follow-up question: How do I get rid of the smell of vinegar? -
Quick question - if I'm not doing a refugium and plan to just put filter floss and a ChemiPure sachet in my AquaClear 50 that I'll put on the JBJ 3 gallon how much do I put in there? Do I stuff it to the gills? The little filter that came with the tank fits one of the nano sachets perfectly. I've not seen the AC50 in person yet but I imagine a little sachet would bob around. I did manage to find that more than one nano sachet for a tank this size is too much. I imagine if I were to put enough floss in there I could sandwich the sachet between layers of floss - but I think this would mean a ton of floss.
