Roko Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi, so i came up with idea to use active carbon for my water changes. I use two way siphon for water changes and i am adding water directly from sink pipe to aquarium. I was thinking of adding active carbon in mesh adding mesh inside of siphone pipe and capping it with gilter wool so particles/dust don't go in aquarium. Would this work!?

Coronal Mass Ejection Carl Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Are you trying to use it to remove chlorine from tap water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roko Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Yes to remove chlorine and any organics or chemicals that could be in water in raining and snowing month's. I don't have any problems but just was curious. If it would be beneficial for aquarium why not. Edited January 1, 2021 by Roko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
