ok, actually, the more carbon you use, the faster it will asorb...
as simple as that... =)
and yes, to be safe, best use for a few days and remove it, else, it will leech back to the tank...
i personally like to use Ocean Free's 1kg carbon and pack them in to smaller bags and use when needed...
reason: they sizzle and gets a bit warm when being pre-washed..

the thing about carbon is that they absorb everything... good and bad...
(i might be wrong)  but think about it... what about traces which is beneficial to the fishes and the ecosystem?

i will only use carbon when it is needed in a tank..

the more nitrification bacteria grows, the faster it will convert ammonia to No2, and No2 to No3...
nitrification bacteria cannot break down No3 and this is when de-nitrification bacteria comes to play..

cultivating loads of de-nitrification bacteria to break down No3 is tricky... the easiest way is to perform water change...

some ways people use to tackle No3 in low stock tanks...

1.using thick fine substrate to create the anaerobic environment (4" at least)
2.using plants like cabomba and hornwort (plants will take No3 as fertilizer)

I"m using ehiem lava rock media to lay at bottom of my substrate, lava rock normally is at PH 7. what kind of issue you facing, ph too high or low?

Wah, what fish u getting now? 

malaya will lower ph more than amazonia but contain less plant nutrient, filter media can use sera super peat, will lower kh and gh as well.

i bought 1 sturgeon from irene aquarium 4 months ago.. doing well but not easy to feed... currently on worms... trying to teach them eating pellet... i also once have paddle fish but really2 hard to get them feed.... mine ate worms only... could not train them to eat pellet at all...they eat plankton in the wild... really2 hard fish to care.. mine  died.... but a very rare fish to have...

i was planning to buy the dragon goby but it also is really hARD TO FEED.... not included in monster fish... can even be kept with small fish like neons bcoz they wont even eat them... able to eat pellet but very2 slow....

i once own one.... really2 hard fish to care... not easy to feed... filter feeders... eat plankton and small insects... ikan longkang also can but small one only... mine died for unknown reason... it was 20 cm.... if u want to house them , u really need to have very big aquarium because they will injure their nose if its to small... try and go to the fish shop near the tasik shah alam... they have  2 feet paddlefish at rm500...

Wow.. Got it from Brunei direct? 

So hows ur bleheri ?

must be those RM50 a 'guli' lava rock, ya those drop PH.

yes they can... but paddle fish never stops swimming... so, u need to feed them everyday... not easy to go out and buy food everyday....
