Hey All -
So to preface, I stripped my tank by running GFO for a few months. ... well how about 4 months. Nitrates were 0 and p04 was 0.00. Caught things and realized what I had done BEFORE it was too late. ....
...Since then, I have gotten things more stable and back in line thru dosing sprectraside and NeoPhos and testing like mad! P03 -- 10-12, P04 -- 0.03. and these readings have been stable over the past 2-3 weeks. Also been doing regular bi-weekly 15% water changes (155 gallon system)....
But I wanted to clean and polish my water a bit and was wondering if I could run some carbon to accomplish this .. can I run carbon or will it take critical things out that I need right now?
