Sorry, I don't think so. Carbon will help only for short periods. The effect
of activated carbon is a large surface which may be used to reduce drugs
used or any other unwanted products. But after a few days it's useless
carbon (for the grill :)), there are many better filter media. Just use ir
for short periods, then it's good.

Betreff: [RML] Clean water and carbon

I'm new to keeping rainbows, but the first message any newbie gets is that
they need very clean water. I've not ever used carbon in my very planted
tanks, but I'm thinking that putting carbon in for these guys might be a
very good idea. Any thougts?
