Filter socks also

I have the filter socks already... Where would I put carbon? Hope that wasn't a stupid question.

You can put it in a filter bag & run it passive or in a reactor in your sump.

could I add the carbon in one of the filter socks?

I have never heard a yes or no to this question but I think you could just make sure the carbon is in a mesh bag made for carbon.

Anyone else have an opinion on this.

In theory I suppose you could but I would not recommend it. You'll probably get carbon bits stuck to your sock making it a pain to clean. Also, not sure if Steve was asking if it was OK to put carbon in a filter sock that's servicing the return line or not? I would definitely not put carbon in that sock :-)

Even in its own media bag? Not that I disagree with you Mr. K, I do prefer to run in a reactor myself for many reasons.
