best practice for carbon in a nano

[ace1204]

I want to start using carbon in my solana, what is the rundown on best practice. Just fill a media bag and float it in the back? Does it need to be replaced monthly?

needs to be replaced monthly. not sure on the setup for use though.

It's best to have water flowing through it as opposed to soaking(for lack of a better term).

Rinse the carbon like crazy, otherwise you'll have a black soot-like particulate sticking to everything.

A small pouch or Chemi-pure may be a good choice. I use two of them in my 55 and change out every couple or so months.

I use a small media bag and stick it next to the return pump. Change the carbon every few weeks. Oh that reminds me I need to change mine LOL

I have mine in a media bag and change it every 30 days.

If you have never ran it on that system before you might want to initially change it after about 2 weeks. Then you could go monthly after that. The first bit you put in is gonna get used up quick.
