Many carbon blocks normally used in RO systems are 0.5 micron. Regardless of pre filter, which will clog pretty quick if it's also fine, the carbon block will likely clog up in short order. I'd be interested in how long it goes though, could be wrong. I'd be more inclined to deal with carbon in a bag or container, agitated by flow that's already being produced by return pump or other powerheads rather than a dedicated pump just for the carbon. Don't find rinsing the fresh stuff all that much trouble.

I thought I would throw a few coral pics up on the thread cause that's what I've been working so hard to get started. I was just hand feeding some of my LPS and you'll see it in the pics.

Wow! Handfeeding is certainly working out for you! I love that first one.

Thought I would throw a FTS in the thread today. Gonna look a little different soon as I've got a few frags on their way.

Nice purple rock. I'd say you're ready for a schwack-o-frags.

Yup,... you sure do have a nicely finished tank and location in your house. Good job... If I was building a house, I would do a peninsula tank as well. Great choice on your part...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
