Just brought a new 2235 to cycle the tank.


Insdie there is one black carbon media. Just wondering is it necessary to use it to cycle the new tank.Do I need to remove it. Setup is for planted tank.

hi SF

remove the carbon from your cannister if you are cycling your tank........carbon is usually used to remove medication after the prescribed duration is over.
