I wrote a new article for the Answers WebsiteI have been thinking about splitting the Filter Media article to provide more in depth information about activated carbon, especially since I get so many questions about this subject (which seems to generate rather extreme views, similar to salt use in freshwater aquariums). This article is still a work in progress, as I hope to add more information and tweek the article more to show that the use of carbon is a subject with no one correct answer to, but is has many considerations as to correct use or use at all.

I already updated this Activated Carbon Article after I finished reading a few more university research studies. I will admit these papers taught me some facts I was unaware of, including why carbon removes certain molecules and not others and the correlation to the Redox Potential was interesting (despite anecdotal comments at the Tom Barr Report). I added more about the use of carbon with planted freshwater plants as well. Aquarium Answers; Activated CarbonCarl
