Carbon is your friend,even when it falls in the tank.It is very pourous,so in turn it will help with bio!

carbon is used to absorb impurities in the water such as chlorine and other toxic agents. it will not harm your fish, however, carbon should be replaced periodically (1-2 months).

although it's standardized to use carbon as part of your overall filtration system, it's use it not essential in your aquarium upkeep. therefor, if you wish to save money or the hassle of replacement, you don't necessarily need it.
