how do you guys rinse your carbon? RO/DI water, tap water...? And are nylon stockings ok to use in the reef tank or what do you guys use?

Jack, I use bags I purchase at Dollar Stores, if you can find one...Dollar Stores are as rare as liquor stores in this town :rolleyes: . The bags are intended for filtering the washing machine drain line. They work perfect for carbon.
And to answer the earlier question if I put carbon in my mouth...only if I was out drinkin' the night before. I don't wake up wondering if the cat
$h!t in my mouth... :biggrin:

Haha

Thanks Doug I will check the Dollar Store.

Heres an old carbon comparison if anyones interested http://www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/a...ct/default.asp

I use Hagen power filter carbon bags. Rinse it under filtered well water.
