Carbon?????????

[w_hartyjr]

As of now i am running a hob filter(emporer 400 bio wheel without the bio wheels),only to be able to run carbon.can i do away with this ugly filter by getting a reactor to run carbon in.is one better than the other?i am running gfo in a reactor in my sump,i was thinking of doing the same with the carbon.what kind of carbon would you use?
As always thanks for the great info and input

use this stuff in a media reactor (get rid of that bio-wheel, lol)

this is a good dual reactor that you can hang:

how fast does the water need to moving thru carbon reactor

for carbon, a "good" fast flow is ideal.

for gfo, just enough to make gfo "perk" on it's surface.
