As long as it is free from chlorine and chloramin then that will be fine.

The carbon is really a personal choice. Mine has been replaced with Purigen. If you want tannins then remove it, if not then add it. It doesn't get all the tannins, but certainly helps.

I will leave it for a while then.
Do you think the tetratec ex1200 can handle an oscars waste?

Erm, depends on how much you feed him. lol. I would want another one running aswell if he was with tank mates.

Lol well hes one right greedy #28###, drop a couple of tetra xl cichlid pellets in there and he takes all of them at once, every single time, hes only 4 inches and is growing rapidly.
Ill get one tetratec then another in a couple of months and it would be braking the bank abit to get 2 brand new.
