Carbon is extremely porous and adsorbant. It removes organic impurities from the water. So does purigen. It removes nitrates as well.

Yea, don't do that. If you filter water slowly through a carbon water filter you'll remove a good portion of chlorine, but it wont do anything for chloramine if your water company uses it. Stick with dechlor.
Carbon also removes trace elements and minerals required for healthy fishes, purigen doesn't. The driftwood will only leach color for a few weeks so just regular water changes will remove it aswell if time is not an issue.
In my opinion carbon is bad, and not needed.
Just my $0.02
Good Luck

Time isn't really an issue, but it has been leaching for more than 6 months. I'm going to try a litre of Purigen.

Maybe the water will clear up if you and your dog wouldn't play in the tank together!
Haha just use some purigen and you won't have a problem. It is really easy to recharge and not that expensive.
