I made a carbon reactor for my nem tank. it's made from a small gatorade bottle with holes drilled in the bottom, carbon packed inside, and a 50gph pump attached to the lid, running water through bottle. Filter floss on both ends to keep carbon particles from getting out. It sits in the first sump chamber after my filter cup. I plan to run it one week a month to combat coral warfare, as I have several different color morphs of RBTA in a 20 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump and have a few questions.
1 . Is 1 week a month enough?
2. When I stop running it, should I leave the reactor in the sump or remove it?
3. Can I re-use carbon that has been run for a week? If so How many times?
