What Does Carbon In A Filter Look Like?

[manutd666]

Im just about to use white spot treatment it says remove carbon from the filter. But I dunno where this is or whether there is any in the filter

Any black sponges or black chips.

If you have it...this is loose...Not all filters have it mind, they can look different but black

 

[manutd666]

It has a black sponge but it doesnt say anything about carbon on the box

So do i just take the sponge out?

 

[england]

What filter is it mate, how many sponges does it have, do you have any other "normal sponges as spare?

 

[manutd666]

The filter is Aquael fan-2 filter plus. Only the one sponge and no spares

 

[england]

Does not say anywhere about it being Carbon,

 

[manutd666]

I dont have the instructions anymore but it doesnt say anything about carbon on the box. Is it important to remove carbon b4 adding the treatment?

 

[england]

Yes carbon removes chemicals from the water, however in your case i get the feeling this perticular one is just a sponge

 

[manutd666]

Yh I think it is. Thanks alot for your help
