Does anyone run zeolite and carbon in a reactor?
I was at a LFS last week and a guy who worked there told me they run zeolite and activated carbon in reactors in their shop tanks, and he even gave me a small bucket of zeolite for free to try out. He said it keeps ammonia, phosphates and nitrates under control and any other bad stuff that's in the water column. So I'm wondering if this is a common practise people do, good or bad and whether or not I should try it, and FYI my nitrates are on the high end currently.
