bump? I guess no one is running these?

I have one for my QT when it's going, and use sponge and biomedia, no carbon. I'll usually rinse the sponge out in RO water as needed.

Why are so many people against using activated carbon?

I ran one when I had my 40B and used sponge, ceramic media and carbon. No I only use it on my QT when I set that up.
