What have you found to be the best way to get the used carbon out of these canisters? It doesn't dump or shake out easily.
I used these canisters almost 20 years ago and gave up on them as they were a pain. Fast forward to now and the canisters are a little bigger so I thought I'd give them a try with my new Lifereef sump project. (They look much nicer in the sump than the BRS reactors.) Well, I still find it a pain to get used carbon to come out without making a mess. I'm hoping someone has some tips for me other than using a spoon to just scoop it all out.
