I thought the same thing until I started running carbon in a phosban reactor. The difference for me was night and day, its much more efficient than having it in a bag in the sump IMO.

I wonder if one put it in a sump compartment with floss and have the return water running direct onto it, would have the same effect as a reactor?

I must agree though. I sometimes wonder about our use of carbon. You read where sps have bleached because of the carbon removing yellow water, {which is hard to see with the naked eye, unless side by side}, when used only occasional.

Then you see other beautiful sps tanks, that swear by not using carbon?
