Hello,
I am fairly new to fish keeping and am wondering about activated carbon.
I have a cycled 10g with two aqualear sponge inserts and a bio-max insert. When cycling, i hear i should not put carbon in, so I didn't- and i've read that many people do not use carbon at all. However, it still appears to be a very common thing in the fish-keeping world. So I'm wondering...
When should an activated carbon insert be used, and what specifically does it do?
