I only ever use an inert sand substrate heres a link to my tank. http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ht=wild+discus
I do dose with ferts and have CO2 though. With the discus I like to sift through the sand to make sure it's clean. |

They seem judgmental rather than helpful. I've heard carbon is no good in filters for new tanks my sponge has carbon in should I move it out and add at a later date ? Or if I never need it should I just take out and out my old tank sponge in cutting it down to size ?

If the carbon part cannot be removed from the sponge you're gonna have to leave it in.
By removing the whole sponge you will be building up less beneficial bacteria, unless you want to replace it with another sponge/media of the same size to fill the gap. What sort of filter is it? |
