Hello Sam,

Make sure you get quality carbon, otherwise you'll get a tremendous algae boom.

Definitely. I still remember the time 12 years ago when I bought the Brighouse Pets brand charcoal for my mechanical filter. It wiped out my entire Discus tank (6 med Discus) in 1 day.

I bought the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals activated carbon this time.
