Hey Jamie, how do you run your carbon? A filter bag in a baffle, or ... ?

And how often do you replace your filter bags? Never? Every month?

I'm just curious ... I found the clogging issues to be a major pain. I'd love to hear how people step around that issue. I found when I had a filter bag in a baffle, when it would start to clog, I'd start to get water level fluctuations in my sump (basically the last chamber would start to drain), so the water level would climb in the main display, and the salinity would start to drop a little because the float valve was now adding more water than was needed.

I lived with this at first, but then came to the conclusion that "there has to be a better way" and I kind of backburnered the carbon for now. But I would really like to get back into it.
