How do you put carbon to work in your reef tanks?
Now I have an idea... what if I dump the carbon loose
into the sock in the sump? The sock I am using is quite
fine to prevent carbon escaping to the sump and the
water is pretty well agitated in the sock so the carbon
will work efficiently there...
The sock lasts about a week or two before it clogs
with dirt, so I could dump the sock with used up carbon
to the garbagge and put new sock with new carbon portion.

Activated charcoal isn't my cup of tea, but that's because I'm
interested in supporting Daphnia and Moss.
I still hav charcoal on hand in case a fish comes down with something.
Then, I'd want to remove medication, right? Because all of my fish
would get the medication.

This plan with the sock makes sense to me if it's more
suitable or as suitable as the usual nylon that you can buy charcoal
in. With potted or rooted plants, I wouldn't worry about the trace
minerals being lost from the water. Those should be in the silt.

Someone might think I'm kidding about the Moss, but I hav a
Plecostomus, and it gets algae thins. I'm not sure that it will like
the substrate for moss that I'm sewing.

Trolls aren't people. They're off-topic posts with crummy langgwij
outbursts. Sometimes, they're sock puppets of seemingly normal people.
I hate it when they raise identity issues, because I know a lot about
dijital identity, and I believe it's mechanically sound.

So, the question is, would you phone someone, say someone at a pet
shop, with the same idea. And, if you did, would you ignore their
criticism and do it anyway.
