Hi everybody,
Is there such a thing as having too much carbon? My tank setup is as follows:
100 Gal tank, fish only
2x Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filter 200's
1x Magnum 350 Filter Deluxe Canister Filter
2x Maxi-Jet Powerhead 1200's
2x Tetra Whisper Heater 200 Watts
2x Coralife 24 Inch Aqualight With 65 Watt 50/50 Lamp
1x AquaC Remora Pro Protein Skimmer With Mag-Drive 3
I guess my real question would be this.... I have carbon cartridges on both my penguin power filters, and also carbon inside the Magnum Canister. I change the carbon in the canister about every 2 weeks and put in the micron filter/polisher and run that for about 2 weeks, then back to the carbon after that.
Am I putting too much carbon in my tank? Or am I possibly doing the right thing by switching medias in the canister like I've been doing?
Thanks in advance
