Does anyone use any kind of chemical media in their filter just to give a little extra clarity to the water without removing anything important from the water such as ferts etc
Thanks for the comment, I have used purigen in the past and it's good so as long as it doesn't remove anything beneficial I might give it a go againHi @Mattant1994 It's been many many years since I last used Activated Carbon (AC) and its not my impression that many around here are using AC. In recent years I have used Seachem Purigen on-and-off which worked well in my case - I don't believe Purigen will do anything detrimental to fertilizers you dose only the organic compounds that eventually breaks down and becomes say Nitrates, but if your using botanicals (almond leaves, moss etc.) it will reduce some of the beneficial effects coming from the tannins / organic compounds.
