globaldesigns is on a distinguished road

I run carbon 24/7

If you run in a reactor with constant forced flow, then I would probably start off with 50% of the recommended volume for your size of tank.

If you are running it passively somewhere in your sump/tank, then you can run 100% of the recommended volume of carbon.
