Using a Aqueon 20 Power Fillter to run carbon/media

Someone suggested this as a way to run carbon if I did not want to use a reactor. I have a few questions and would love to hear from someone who has done this.

Do you put the carbon in a media bag then place it in the power filter? Can I run both carbon and other medias like purigen and chemipure?

If you are running it in your sump do have an problem with cheato clogging it?

 

I ran mine with carbon and tha media filter abd foun it to be bulky since it was a HOB and I only hace a 20 gallon but it worked IMO and did its job well

 

Mine will be hanging on my sump so I don't mind the bulk. What media filter are you referring to that you ran in addition to carbon? Did you just have the carbon in a media bag?

 

I used a hob for along time before I got my reactors.... u can run just about any media in it, I wouldn't run biopellets in it bc they will stick together,but I think ud be ok with the medias you listed above

 

You can put multiple media in the filter. Put the carbon in a meia bag.
