I know it is highly nessesary in FW have used it for years.
thanks Greg, yup, i use a filter sock to catch what ever is loose in the water, the sock i use is pretty fine so it gets mucked up after abit so i do change frequently.

and carbon is used to remove impurties from the water. like a britta water filter carbon does.
