How to Use:Simply attach the Quiet One Pump to the Reactor using the included tubing.
When putting the Inland Seas Carbon into the Reactor you will want to use one of the sponges included with the Reactor at the bottom of the Reactor. Pour the carbon onto the top of the sponge. Put the second included sponge on top of the carbon to hold the carbon in place.
The sponges will prevent the carbon dust from entering the aquarium. Carbon dust is believed to cause fish health problems including lateral line erosion. Sandwiching the carbon between the two sponges also prevents the carbon from tumbling and grinding itself into unhealthy dust.
Before putting the pump in the tank or the sump you will want to rinse the carbon. You can do this by running some clean water from one bucket, through the reactor and into another bucket. Rinse until the water runs clear.
Carbon is an excellent way to increase water clarity and reduce odors. It should be completely replaced every one to two months.
