![]() How often do you all change your carbon? I've been changing it out once a month, but having the three tanks I go through quite a bit of it. Since I've never noticed any yellowing of the water I'm thinking I can stretch the changes out some.

![]() I change every month. If I skip a month I notice my old water in my WC bucket has a slight yellow tinge to it.

![]() Once a month. I'm using some really fine carbon in a phosban reactor so after 4-5 weeks its so plugged up that barely any water is travelling through and I'm forced to change it.

![]() Monthly (well, approximately) for me too. I think I notice the tank is brighter the day after a switch out which tells me I might be stretching it out a bit too long.

![]() I change about once a month, if I go longer the water does get a tint of yellow.
