Need help in activated carbon usage

[nkenyan]

Hello All,

This is Naveen, I am new to this hobby. I have an 80L tank with some mushroom corals and BTA. I am dosing RedSea NO3 PO4-X daily 1.6ml and Fauna Marin Color elements (Blue, Green, Red) 1.6ml weekly once. I have activated carbon in my canister filter. Is it ok to run the activated carbon always in the canister? will it remove all the above dosings from the water column?

I personally run carbon continuously in my reactor. I change it out about monthly or so.

I only run carbon intermittently. Not sure if it removes NO3 PO4-X
