terryansimon Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 wah you buy two bottles without knowing its purpose! best. I doubt you can over-treat Carbon. from my very limited knowledge, carbon helps absorb certain medication and also remove the "yellow" tinge in water.

bwilly Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 the carbon remove some of the DOM (dissolved organic matter) if I am not wrong. the yellowish colour of your tank water. only way u can worry is when the carbon gets leeching. best to replace it after one month. carbon will absorb all the toxic n even medication. but once the carbon reaches its maximum "capacity", it will start to leech back wat it absorb. u won't want that, so replace them once a month. also remove your carbon when u dose medication, dun want your medication to goes waste, n your carbon used up faster.
