Undergravel Filter Carbon?

[83CKS]

Hi All..

Cloudburst has an undergravel filter in his tank and was wondering if he could fit the uplift tube with activated carbon. he's seen the interpet cartridge for the uplift but it wont fit his filter.

Any ideas?

i had the same problem, i got those carbon filter pads and tied one of them round the main airlift outlet with elastic bands, quick and simple! in my opinion i wouldnt put the activated carbon pieces into the airlift tube as you run the risk of them being sucked up and jamming the powerhead.

while i was trying to get my undergravel to use carbon i thought about the carbon pieces, if you have already bought them, you could perhaps experiment using those little canisters camera film comes in piecing one end with enough holes to allow sufficent waterflow, whilst not letting carbon pieces through, and creating a large hole the other end to fix to your powerhead outlet, i never tried this but did have a little think, it may require some extra tinkering!

hope that helps!
