Out of sheer convenience, I currently use a simple sponge pad to help block out detritus and air bubbles going into my return pump. It works well, doing it's job.
I'd like to run carbon, but don't have much space in my sump, and since I already have a spot for my pad, I figure "Kill two birds with one stone."
Honestly, I don't imagine these pads to be effective... but I should at least ask here in the chemistry forum. Are they effective or I just suck it up and try to fit a bloody reactor somewhere? :lol:
