I have a 120L-140L (31-36G) tank and sump.

I want to run a carbon reactor. I have the reactor and carbon. How much carbon should I start with?

It's hard to tell if it's extruded bituminious or lignite, but in either case, I would probably start with 2-3 TBSP of the carbon at first and after a month or whenever you change it out, you can bump it up to 4-5TBSP.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
