Ya know what? That old video is GREAT! It's genuinely important information to beginner aquarists.
32,000 Square Feet of what?
Dude I watched this entire video for you not to drop it in? 🤦♂️
You kept saying 1gram has 32,000 square feet… 32,000 square feet of what?
I remember!!! Damn you got it down still lol!
Wait…. you didn't use it…. watched the whole video for no reason 😅😅😅
honestly i don't use carbon regularly. i was running carbon heavily in my jellyfish tank for a bit cause it was all full of phyto, but otherwise the only other times i've used carbon were when i was new, when my heater broke and leeched metals, and when i used chemiclear on my reef a year ago. otherwise i have no use for it since i have nothing poisonous in any of my tanks.
here in oct. 2020 that trash is being pushed hard on facebook
the carbon in my filter is just part of the filter pads.
Thank you for this video. I have seen it on TV and was really curious about it.
Maybe if these had a connection for an air line/bubbler/power-head a-la sponge filters, in order to create water flow through the unit, it would be more useful.
What if you have a Star Trek themed tank? then you could put that in and make it the Borg ship LUL
I only use a small amount of carbon in my canisters, only to reduce any odors.
my fav fish expert thats what you are like me you used to be big headed but your perfect now like you i try and help people who get taken in by petshops ect worst offenders in the retail trade here in scotland but alas common sense aint common 66 now still helping people but you my friend are tops in my book you ever in scotland please contact me have a few jars togetherstay safe your new friend from paisley scotland jj
you are suppose to put it on where there is water flow. facing the holes in it. so it can pass thru the cube.
Haha and I did watch it at 3:04Am in the morning 🤣😂🤣
I use it for bad smells and medication removal.
This would be a strong No from me in using this product. Unfortunately as stated it directed toward new Aquatics people. As for Active carbon yea I use it in my RODI as it relives impurities and chem out if the water lines. Also use it on my tanks periodically to help reduce or remove any treatments placed into the water system.
Haha I just saw their ads on FACEBOOK the other day. I was amazed how many people ask about putting it in their SW aquarium and if it would get rid of algae. The company tells them yes!!! Of course I had my say SEVERAL times and am now banned lol
Hell no, that stuff turned my water dark and it does not work …
This video was some trash BS, least U could have tested the cube man…
Thought this was a review😩
Bruh…you could have atleast out it in some dirty tank and given us a 6 hour view of it. Waste of time on this video just boasting yourself.
I never used A.charcoal and my aquariums never needed that stuff a little tea color makes more natural and when gets too much a couple of fast 50% water changes fixs everythibg
Just sue their ass
I like to run alot of carbon since my leather corals have gotten massive and I'm concerned about chemical warfare with my sps coral. That and I waterchange my reef yearly. I completely agree with the situational fresh water applications.
Competitor?
If it just sits in the tank with no water being actively drawn through it, how efficient can it be? If it had a way to pull water through it and over the carbon then it might be worth the trouble. But that's the same thing as a canister or HOB filter which would work much better.
I stopped using carbon after I discovered seachem purigen. I feel like it works way better at "polishing" the water and can go longer without needing to be changed or "recharged".
