zeovit rocks - how often do you replace?

[Delphinus]

Carbon isn't mined though (is it?), and I don't use a lot of filter floss and I clean the heck out of it so I don't throw it out as often as otherwise, I never throw out excess tubing much to my own dismay but you just "never know" when you might need 3" of tubing, and the banana peel goes into my compost bin not the garbage. (So there! )

I have the same issue with sand. I just get hung up on what it took to get into my hands and then just dumping it under my deck seems like a ridiculous fate.

But then maybe this is a ridiculous hobby anyhow, but still I press on, and maybe it's just ridiculous to feel bad about throwing it out. I dunno. It just feels weird to me to throw out rocks. They're rocks!

... Maybe I'm on my own on this one...

The only place I throw my bannana peel is into my composter. Shame on anyone that throws organic waste into the landfill.

Tony, you feel weird throwing out rocks. I think the weird thing is paying $15 per litre for rocks

How I understand the Zeolith to work is that it is like a carbon or phosphate remover. It get's exhausted over time.
I change my rocks ever 10 to 12 weeks but always leave a bit behind to help seed the bacteria colony

Greg can you come over to my house and tell my mother this? She seems to believe that having a composter will cause damnation to hell for my whole family (Or atleast shes that stubborn about it )
