carbon

Hello everyone, I am just curious on what everyone uses to control phosphates and nitrates. I just set up a 75 gallon tank and I do not have a sump. I run a 110 aqua clear hang on the back filter. My tank has been cycled for a week now and my phosphates using the hanna checker are 0.3 I’m...

I have a dual carbon / GFO Reactor with the original pump. No tubing or sponges. $50 + $5 for shipping.

My levels were over 2000ppm, which is enough to cause drowsiness in humans. I found out after getting a CO2 meter (Aranet4), although this is not an endorsement for that brand in particular. However, I do that knowing the levels of CO2 in your house is worthwhile. Once I took actions to reduce...

I've been reading about softie chemical warfare, and how brutal they can apparently be, along with of course Paly/zoas. Do you run carbon to try to protect your non-softies, or would it even make a difference?

Hello All, I have a 2-month-old BRS reactor that I set up on my 125-gallon. It is all broken down now and ready to be shipped or picked up. The reactor works as it should, and I have no use for it anymore. Also, the pump is a jeabo DC jump with a controller. It's the full package. I am...

Anyone with experience with the cabon post filter to the Avast Ozone Reactor. I just got mine set up, and am having issues with the carbon escaping the filter and being pulled into my sump along with the flow of the water. I'm using the actual carbon that came with the filter, so I shouldn't be...

Ok, so I am getting ready to finish my cycle in a fluval 13.5, and have a few questions. I just put some snails in and a tiger conch and they seem to be doing just fine; however my nitrites are not quite 0, but not .25 either. 1st: is it safe to put corals in with trace nitrites? 2nd: what...

Hello, First of all - thanks Randy for your contribution to spreading knowledge on this forum. Without you I wouldn't learn many things I have never heard about it, despite the fact I do not like going with the easiest and most common solution and thus I like to explore and experiment. I...

Hi everyone, Right now I have high nitrates (around 50ppm) and low phosphates (around 0.1ppm). The phosphates might be a false reading since my tank is now filled with green hair algae (which Ive been trying to remove). I remove them manually when doing water changes weekly, and they still grow...

What Do You Guys use to keep your water Crystal Clear?

Hey. I’m looking to buy a media reactor probably to run carbon or gfo. I’m leaning towards the Nyos torq gen2 but the reviews aren’t that great. what are the top of the line reactors and easy to replace media?

I decided to take a stand this upcoming week on hair algae. Tuxedo Urchin and more CUC will be here in a few days, I took out some of the rocks and scrubbed as much algae off as I could, as well as suctioned some more up during my water change. I currently run carbon but picked up some chemipure...

The carbon I use recommends that I should change every month, what would happen if I just leave it in the tank? Would it leach out the chemicals that it absorbed?

Hey y'all, I've been trying to solve a Xenia problem for some time now, and I'm wondering if this could be the problem. I have a 10 gallon aquarium with a single clown, 3 snails, and one emerald crab, that has been battling Dinos for months. The tanks is looking better, but my Xenia is looking...

Does carbon strip essential elements from the water column? I’m an environmental engineer and my training wpuld indicate it’s gonna take a whole lot of carbon to bind up a ton of your essential elements but I don’t know for sure about in saltwater. I plan on running it because I have a decent...

As Randy points out, carbon removes more organics when combined Ozone. Conversely, I've read at least a couple of times that Purigen "stays white" much longer when combined with ozone. This suggests Purigen does not remove as many organics as it would without ozone. An example here...
