arghhh How much carbon to put in???

Had an anem issue and I want to add carbon...never done this and I have no clue on how much to put in "bag". 37g Tall. Helppp! It's a 500ml jar and it only says it's enough to take care of 200g tank.

 

Many people will use anywhere from a cup to 2 cups per hundred gallons... Depending on bio load and organic levels, esp if the water is taking on a yellowing...

if it where me
Id put half in now
and in 4 weeks time I would throw it away and replace with other half

you might get away with 1/3rd and 4 weeks, but with a nem in the tank, better safe than sorry IMO

Ok so there is no real fear of putting too much in b/c it is only a 37g? Thinking I will do the third as suggested. Thx !

There def. is no yellowing in water. The BTA is still alive but has anchored upside dwn on LR. 3 days since incident.

 

you need to rinse it well first get all the powder off it

but no, you cant have to much IMO
