What should I do with a bag of carbon I removed from my FX-5 during Pimafix treatment for fungus? I have a 120g FOWLR. Should I just soak the carbon bag in water? Saltwater? Or let it dry? Does it matter? It's matrix carbon and only about 1 month old, so I wasn't planning on replacing it until it hit 3 months old.
 
Good luck with the treatment. I just treated for Ick using cupramine. I too removed my carbon. I threw mine away, but heard that washing and saving is ok too. Do you know if there is another alternative to carbon?
