Carbon

[Leo2o915]

How long does it normally take the carbon to remove medication from a tank ? 

[lefty o]

depends on how much medication, how much carbon, how much water flow thru the carbon, and how much water in total. imo best to do a water change, and add carbon, then in a few days repeat. that will typically remove the vast majority of any kind of medication.

I usually do a 50% water change and leave active carbon 24hr 48hr depending on what my treatment schedule is the majority of medication should remove in 24hr

I would have to dig for the study or notes on where it came from, but I leave the carbon in the tank for minimum 7, up to 14 days.
