    ya the carbon should be ok. it is un used right?

    the seachem biofiltration media comes in 1 litre jugs so i put 2 of those in.Total of 2 litres, i guess that is 2000 grams of rock. or 2 kg i dunno

    just enough so you have room for carbon and polyfilter. try not to force or stuff everything cuz the water needs to drip through all the filters

    how long have you had the system running?

    it takes time for bacteria to build on the bioballs or rubble so if you already have it running with bioballs then i would add the rubble slowly so that we arent throwing out too much good bateria from the bioballs. the idea is to not disturb the system so taking a few bioballs out to make room for some rubble is probably the safest. and you can add week by week or month whatever. BIOBALLS ARENT BAD lots of people use them.

    Couldnt agree more, alot of people use them in their wet/dry systems and have no issues
