How quickly does Rox 0.8 carbon work?

[kartrsu]

Hey everyone,

Been running rox 0.8 carbon in my tank. It's a relatively new batch, maybe 2 weeks old. I've made the mistake of not removing carbon before dosing medication (prazipro) to my tank. Probably ran it for like 5-10 mins with carbon before realizing and removing it. Would this have a huge impact on the concentration of meds? Would you add a little more meds if so? Tank turnover around 10x with return pump only.

Not a matter of how quick, but you want gradual and bot quick reduction of Phos and nitrates.

I wouldn’t worry about 5 mins of Carbon with prazi personally. First dose?

Yup first dose. My carbon is run passively. Thanks!
