When does a reef tank need activated carbon

Yap tried JJ, it works naman. No baby aiptasia as of the moment.

Back to AC, di ba 2-3 month life nito, in that period ba kailang wash wash ko parin sya

1 month lang daw ayon sa mga chismis na nabasa ko... kaya palit na lang ng palit at wala ng wash-wash. gusto ko nga subukan ire-activate yung mga used ac using 100% hydrochloric acid kaso napamahal na sa kin yung mga kung anu-anong nakatira sa mga lumang ac rings ko :lol:

Ha 1 month lang!!! Shocking colors!!! Mahal naman maintenance ko!

nak ng weteng mahal pa yung kinakain mo sa isang araw eh :lol:

on the other hand, may naalala akong chismis na nabasa ko sa tabloid na yung ac daw eh they get somehow reactivated sa tank due to the bacterial population na tumitira dito. apparently, these bacteria consume the organics that get adsorb by the ac thus reactivating it. so theoretically, pwede nga lampas isang buwan ang usage.

Amputik lampas na ng 1 month yung ac ko. Pag ka check ko sa record ko super lampas na pala.yare ka blackwidow baka cguro mga ibang zoos ayaw bumuka ng todo.

thanks for the photo ST. naintindihan ko na. pinagsama sama pala mga carbon blocks sa container. hang usay :lol:

.

rockster me gumagawa nung pinagsasama GFO at GAC pero strictly sa reactor lang siguro kasi maliit GFO e pero meron din yata na naka mesh bag na na pino. Yung iba sa iisang reactor yung iba naman dual reactor na isa lang feed pump. pero mahirap i-control yung flow para mabalance para sa requirement ng GFO at carbon knowing na mahina lang flow requirement ng GFO. :mrgreen:
