USING CARBON

Agree with Alan and GZ, carbon should not be a staple in your filtration system. Use it only to remove medications/ chemicals and then throw it away. I've read that having carbon in the filtration all the time as also been linked to hole-in-the-head disease in cichlids, so it can't be a good thing for other fish as well. If you're worried about filter media surface area, ceramic noodles/ bio balls are much safer and have much more surface area than carbon.
