DIY carbon bag questions

[Jkoziatek]

if i have some left over carbon that fell through my bio cartridge on my emp 400 ( i have a zip lock full) can i take a piece of cloth and sew a lil pocket... fill it up and then sew it closed and use it as a carbon bag?

if so it would fit in my emp 400 but could i place it by the water coming out of the emp? and if not where would the best place for it be?... would it be better by the intake?

anyone?

[Jkoziatek]

where shoudl i put it by the intake or where the water flows out?

Ladies stocking work well. Just fill up a leg and tie it off.

I did that when i was young it was my mothers,it works well , i used a rubber band to tie off the ends.

Yes, stockings work well. They also sell bags for that use in various LFS. I buy Carbon and make my own its cheaper.


As far as where do you place it. I don't think it matters as long as the water can properly pass through it.
