HaNs Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Im not sure how many people on here use carbon every day in there filters. I never have used it in my tanks. If used i think you need to remove it after 1-2 months or else what it has absorbed leaches back out I take it you are wanting to replace the filter wool type media? If so what i do is go to the local upholstery place and take in my media and they can get a close match to the grade of material and its about 1/20th of the retail price from the petshops. They may even have clean off cuts that you can have for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 i have a similar (better IMO) filtration system in my sunsun tank. I buy bales of wool from my LFS. they are about 2400x1200 & last for 5-6 months. they cost about $13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
