My plants grow fine with or without carbon in the filter. There's probably some adsorption of chelated iron but it doesn't seem to matter much. NPK and traces aren't adsorbed. -- Put the word aquaria in the subject to reply. Did you read the FAQ? http://faq.thekrib.com

Seachem says you can use activated carbon with Excel. How's 'bout other plant fertilizers, iron, potassium, traces - do they also escape adsorption by filter carbon? Some poeple think iron is taken out. I dunno. Trying to keep a residual 0.1 ppm of iron is damn hard even without carbon. The rest are absolutley unaffected. The dula guys recommend carbon. Most everybody else says to avoid it. I've never seen a difference either way. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home page: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net
