just means a filter using carbon as a media. do you know if it just uses carbon or uses other media as well?

Not sure, hes gonna bring it in sometime this week to look at but i'm under the impression its only charcoal, nothing else.

that would be a pants filter! have a look in the beginners resource centre, there's a really good topic on filter media types which will give you the low-down on charcoal/carbon and consequently explain to you why it's not a great idea to have a filter with just carbon as the media.
