So I'm only a year old in the plant world. So naturally I want to
learn as much as I can. What is good/bad filtration when it comes to
keeping a plant and fish tank. I have a 75g w/ a canister (cascade
1200) I was told by a plant dealer that carbon wasnt a good idea. So
currently the media I use is the sponge, polyfiber,ammonia rocks,
phosphate remover(seachem),and bio-chemstars for bio-logical. Any info
would be great. Thanks

I disagree with carbon being bad, some claim that carbon removes trace
elements that the plants need, though this is arguable. Myself, I rarely use
anything in my filters other than sponges for biological filtration. I
occasionaly use Seachem Purigen to remove discolouration from my bogwood.
