::Should you use activated carbon in a planted tank or not?

::Thanks.

:More filtration is always a good thing ;)
Carbon is good if your water turns yellow or brown. Otherwise I wouldn't use it. Use lots of bio filtering ,but even this will siphon nutrients. Anyways if you want to make the most of your lights keep the water as clear as you can.
