Got a sump? How do you run Carbon?

[Canadian Man]

Just looking for how people with sumps run carbon. Please explaine :biggrin:

I put it into a nylon and then inside my overflow box so all the water has to pass through it.

So in my case if i'm running a stand pipe how is that an option?

My tank drain goes into a bucket and I have a few holes cut in the bottom/side of the bucket and I place my carbon in the path of those holes. Very similar idea I suppose.

Water only has one way to go so.....

Well, Carbon works best when water is some what forced through the media. I use a HOT Magnum . I'm sure it works better than just throwing it in a high flow area :razz: .

My skimmer empties into a large diameter PVC pipe that has eggcrate on the bottom. Not as active as say a canister filter but less passive than simply placing in a high flow area.
