Unused Cansiter Filter.

I was wondering been doing some reading on people using LR rubble in their filters. I have a rena XP1 that i am not using, any suggestions what to do with it? anybody do anything like this before???

 

carbon

 

just all carbon? i was told that carbon takes out things that are helpful like additives?

 

I run 2 trays of carbon in my tidepool II sump/fuge. It keeps the water crystal clear.

 

so it just removes the unwanted stuff?

 

sry but the guy at LFS told me to remove my carbon, keep the additives int he water.

 

carbon will remove good things as well as bad, but the bad are much more important to remove than the good, and the good can be replaced via water changes.

Another good thing to put in one is phosphate media. Or turn it into a DIY calcium reactor.
