To combat a BBA problem, I'm looking at my filtration and aiming to improve flow.
Having read comments from the UKAPS gurus, I'm planning to remove the ceramic tube type bio-media from one of my external filters. (The other just has sponges.)
I've read that "organics" (what ever that amorphous term means) can contribute to algae problems.
I have a kg of Fluval Zero-Carb ("super activated zeolite/ carbon mix") that isn't being used, and which claims to remove "organic contaminents".
I suspect the carbon won't be good for flow, but might it be worth having in a filter to deal with "organics"?
I also have a load of spare filter floss.
Any thoughts on whether the carbon or floss would be worth using?
