I run high quality carbon either one day per week or 5 days per month. I try to do the one day per week, but it's a bit tedious. I absolutely do not run carbon 24/7. My tank is all LPS aside from some GSP.

Being on Zeo too I always use carbon.

I actually run it fluidized through a two little fishies phosban reactor. I use KZ carbon and change every 30 days.
