HELP HELP Carbon Pellets

[jwhitehorn]

Sup Guys,
I was installing my canister filter and the page of carbon pellets was sitting on my tank. Well the media bag had a hole in it and about 40 carbon pellets or so fell into my 110 gallon tank. They are all in 1 corner. The tank is VERY DEEP and I don't have way of reaching all the way to the bottom is this an emergency or can I buy a pump tomorrow that reaches the bottom to suck them out?

when i drop somehing in our tank seeing as how i am very short i use tongs from the kitchen to get it..if you put a sock or panty hose over the end of them you should be able to pick up alot of it...thats my way of coping with the problem anyways, hope it helped

no crisis even if you dont get them all out they will eventually go inert and just act as biological filtration.
the easiest way to remove them would probably involve a siphon line and a dowel, just use the dowel to extend your reach to the pellets after you zip tie the siphon line to it.
