carbon

Hey guys, I recently got a new (second hand) tank (Aqua one Lifestyle 76L) that I bought very spontaneously from somebody. It has a built-in filter but unfortunately, it didn't come with its carbon cartridge or sponge. I've had to order its replacement parts online and I'm a bit taken aback by...

Can someone please help me? One of my Dalmatian molly fish is going to die if I can't figure this out. I have a 60gallon tank, with 35+ other mollies (they keep having babies and I don't know what to do with them... but that is a problem for a different day). The tank has been established...

After coming back from a trip I discovered that my http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-DwarfGourami.htm was colorless and had white spots all over him. (A fish my family member had picked up from her friend had been placed in my aquarium while I was gone.) I freaked out and went to the store to buy...

I have a citric acid DIY co2 setup I am using currently until I can buy a full setup. I wanted to know if I can put my CO2 diffuser (ceramic disc) into my filter where it would then shred the bubbles completely, dispersing all the Co2 into the water. It will pass through the filter however. Here...

Hey guys,   I have a quick question about carbon that I'm hoping someone can answer.   Does carbon go "bad"?  When we change out the carbon in our filter, is this because after too much time it loses its filtration properties, or because we're keeping the filter/filter materials around the...

I was browsing amazon for some carbon pellets , and came across carbon infused filter pads that come in a large sheet and you cut to fit your filters. I was wondering if any of you have tried these and if it really works? If so that would be great because it would save me a ton of time rather...

     Hey everyone, I have a tank that's just 2 months old but it's after going through a lot of ups and downs, literally.. After a rough fish-in cycle and facing some deaths, fish fighting, ick, eye eating, etc..  I feel like my tank is FINALLY at the point where it's stable and everyone in...

Hi. I was wondering if it was possible to remove meds without carbon. No particular reason other than i do not have carbon on hand and was trying to avoid getting some just to use for a couple of days. I just started treating yesterday with Mardel's QuICK Cure because a couple of my fish are...

Hi everyone! ok so I'v been keeping fish for a year now and haven't had much luck in growing plants. I thought I would try and give them a little help by adding a fertiliser ( JBL ferrotabs). However, part of my filter contains some activated carbon and I'm not sure if it will absorb all the...

A few weeks ago, I had to take the carbon out of my filter to treat my tank for ich. Now that I am pretty sure the ich is gone, I am curious about how to replace the carbon. Is it as simple as just putting new carbon into the filter pouch and calling it good, or is there something else that...
