Gang, I have a question with respect to Carbon.
I have a 900L / 235 US gal tank (supposed to be planted but the plants are barely surviving).
I am dosing with CO2Supermarket's all-in-one macro+micros mix, and there's also some peat in the sump to help with reducing GH/kH.
I am considering adding activated carbon to help with the yellowish water that results from the humic acids released from the wood pieces as well as the peat .
My question is, will the addition of carbon effectively cancel out the ferts and peat?
Thank you
