    Go Jimmy go!! I’m testing my aquarium more regularly now, finally had high Mish nitrates so bringing them down to that 10-20 sweet spot now 👊🍻🥰 I been running carbon for the last couple months tho while I was fighting Dino’s and heavy feeding to increase the nitrates

    Put the bag of carbon in front of return pump, so water is pulled through the media. Saves spending silly money on nyos reactors.

    Mr Saltwater should have sent a small ziplock bag of chaeto in it so Jimmy thought it was a bong 😂😂🍻😉👊

    I always used to this but I found it’s not essential
    I stop using for months when it’s over and come back when water looks not so good

    I run carbon for a week and then toss it. Then I start it again when I start seeing the yellowing of the water. You don’t need to run carbon 247

    I hope we get a blooper episode at the end of the series. There is no way it wouldn’t be hilarious.

    Do you run media 24/7? I heard it isn’t a good idea. I also heard carbon usually gets depleted in 7 days. Someone told me it’ll strip important elements from the tank so don’t run it more then a week at a time

    for most tanks doesn't worth it, I just put a bag in the sump not a reactor. reactors are expensive believe me.

    i've read that you shouldn't really run carbon 100% of the time as it can absorb good stuff from the system. Any tips for an on/off schedule of sorts?

    Carbon also clean the water for light penetration
