Carbon is a good thing to run. The only problem is that they are only good for about a week. I usually dont run it unless I have a problem or want to polish off the water. I keep my water at 78-80 degrees and at 1.025 salinity.

I love how it polishes off my freshwater tanks.

Crystal Clear!

And for clearing up cloudy water... nothing better.

Just my 2 cents.
