Hi all,

Would the activated charcoal filter absorb those nutrien that we add in? ie ADA brighty k, step 1, python git etc etc.

thanks.

Activated carbon is more likely to adsorb more complex molecules such as certain organic wastes, pesticides, medications and similar things. It does not seem to remove much of the simple molecules that are plant fertilizers.

I've had the same bag of charcoal in my canister filter since the day I bought it about a year and a half ago. It makes a perfect bio media.

It's nice to see another Leavenworth person in the hobby
