petplanet Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I was using Masterpet carbon but have just changed to Aqua One. It comes in its own net bag. I only run it for a week every 4-6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I use Purigen (made by Seachem) instead of carbon. Works well, and can be regenerated easily with bleach. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RnB Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Brendan has some very low P carbon, but said the Jansens brand is fine, says very impotant to test as some named brands leach badly. Pies i talk to you about your source, sounds cheap, would like to test it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
