Tell us more about your setup.How old,LS or CC,How much live rock,and how long has the carbon been in place???? These all are important factors,you see carbon canand willbecome biological media if left in your system too long.If you don't have enough other bio media in the system,when you remove it your tank could go through a RECYCLE...This can be deadly to a stocked tank...

i have a 30 gal. tank 50 lbs agronite 25 lbs LS 55 lbs lr tank has been up for 2 months i have changed the carbon 1

 

[mr . salty]

I'd say it should be fine to remove it..The floss will work fine as a mechanical filter on it's own.Then just use the carbon as a water polisher/clarifier if needed once in awhile...

 

[joshh]

so i should be fine to just take the carbon out all at once or a little at a time

 

[mr . salty]

If you feel better taking it out a little at a time,fine.But It should be safe to just YANK IT OUT.
