So I was doing some online reading again and came across someone stating that you should add more carbon on top of what is already there. My common sense says, no and it should be removed and replaced with fresh carbon.
Now, my reactor has PLENTY of room to add more carbon. Would this be a bad idea? Given the old carbon is used up, but not always fully gone. I change mine out every two weeks.
According to the BRS calculator, my water volume of 66g needs a little under 1.5 cups of carbon. The reactor I am using is the NextReef MR1 and it is currently filled about 1/3 with carbon.
So my question is, would there be any problems with running old carbon on top of new carbon?
