Brahm, can you expand on that. I have a canister filter but no carbon, just ceramic. Posibble problems ??

Thanks

Ok, when your RUN FWE it kills all the flatworms which then release the toxins, if you just place your carbon in bags it isn't nearly as effective as placing it in a filter because with the bags the water doesn't really go through it as much it just kinda floats around the mass, while with the cansiter the water is forced between the carbon thus making it more effective.
