Question
can i have a live refugium  with carbon what is your view onDSB

Answer
Hello Michael,

Yes, you can run carbon in a refugium.  You can run the carbon in a filter sack/sock, or in a reactor.  Both work ok.  I would not use carbon unless you are unhappy or need or want something to improve.

(clarity, smell??)


Also, i highly reccomend a DSB, (deep sand bed).  I think this a great way to deal with nutrients, and contaminants naturally...

I have one in my fuge, and withintwo to three months, my nitrates that usually averaged above 10, are now, difficult to measure...

Good luck and let me know how things work out for you.
