Yellow Eye Tang
Aquarium Advice Freak
I've been reading some of the forums and thought I'd throw this question out. I have been replacing regular carbon filters in my 20g tank. Recently, with the laterite, liquid ferts, and root tabs I am starting to see plant growth for the first time in a LONG time. I am starting to get a bit of algae growth though. I minimize the amount of light in the tank to about 6 hours a day. (Just a reminder, I've have a duel 32w 6500k florescent setup for a total of 65W) Anyway, someone was saying the carbon takes the plants nutrients out of the water and it should not be used in a planted tank. Thanks for your response
