I use carbon as well, I find it helps to polish the water making it clearer. I use an aquaclear 500 bag about half full, and I change it monthly. Sometimes I'll rinse the bag out under tap water to get rid of any built up waste. By rubbing the bag with carbon in it between my hands I'm convincing myself that I'm prolongig the life of the carbon. Not sure if that is true though.
