    I hope we get a blooper episode at the end of the series. There is no way it wouldn’t be hilarious.

    Put the bag of carbon in front of return pump, so water is pulled through the media. Saves spending silly money on nyos reactors.

    I run carbon for a week and then toss it. Then I start it again when I start seeing the yellowing of the water. You don’t need to run carbon 247

    Do you run media 24/7? I heard it isn’t a good idea. I also heard carbon usually gets depleted in 7 days. Someone told me it’ll strip important elements from the tank so don’t run it more then a week at a time

    i've read that you shouldn't really run carbon 100% of the time as it can absorb good stuff from the system. Any tips for an on/off schedule of sorts?

    for most tanks doesn't worth it, I just put a bag in the sump not a reactor. reactors are expensive believe me.
