Power Filter

[dann..]

I have a power filter on my tank that runs carbon. I was wondering if it was bad to add carbon, should i take it out? I will be turning it into a reef in a week or two. I heard that it will take trace elemnets out of the water. Is this true?
Thanks
Dann

Carbon is good to run once and a while. It is mainly used for whenever you water becomes yellow or greenish and you want to clear it up. Good luck with the tank!

Those powerfilters don't really have too much carbon in it. I wouldn't reall worry about it. You are going to add trace elements in the tank anyways.
