          Drs. Foster & Smth, Premium Aquatics & maybe our sponsor Fins Reef carry these. Fonda, just use one of your nylon socks but be careful for "runs" Bob

                Nylon stockings work really well.

                  Check the seams on your store bought media bags before putting them into service. About two years ago I put a new one in service in the sump for carbon and woke up the next day with a display full of carbon. At first I thought it was my knot and rubberband on the open end but the seam had come open on the bottom end. Took me months to get the carbon out of the display and at the time I had a DSB. Every nook and cranny including the corals were covered with carbon.

                    Does anybody actually use carbon reactors?What I was thinking about doing here.My Zeovit Reactor overflow is at the top.But can this be changed into a carbon reactor.Being I already have the flow coming out of the Zeovit reactor.I was wondering what the effect it would have on the bacteria being push threw the carbon.BAD IDEA ! Or would this really help here?I was thing about this one.Because carbon works better with water pushed threw it.

                      Curt/Barbara, one can use a carbonized canister filter with ZEOvit, but the carbon quantity would be 1/2 of the usual, as it's effect would be too extreme in a low nutrient setting, & may be detrimental to our corals. Hence, there is not a benefit to doing this over passive use of carbon. In a higher nutrient system, the opposite would be true. Bob
