Other than removing meds, do you use carbon on a full time basis?
 
Nope never use carbon, it takes up good bio media space. :D
 
I only use it to establish new filters and then take it out after two or three months.
 
Only for emergencies, that's it.
 
I use just to help keep the tank water from getting stinky. If I ever own a fish room seperate from my house then I will stop using it cause it does just take up space that I could use for other media.
 
I only use carbon in an emergency need some kind of filler filter media stance. The only good thing I see about it is that after it looses its chemical filtration properties it has a space for bacteria to grow.
