I know we have discussed carbon use before and I don't want to rehash it all. What I am curious about is this:
Is it more efficient to use carbon passively or by forcing water through it?
If forcing water through is the most efficient (I think it is), at what rate does it become too much flow? Is there a maximum flow before you lose the benefits of running the water through the carbon?
How long does the carbon remain effective at removing chemicals from the water column?
Is there a ratio of carbon to water volume?
Thanks for any and all opinions and especially info backed by either science or experience.
