I have done this before, Making my terrariums and for my fish tanks ,I just made for sure the bag did not have anything added to The charcoal, my fish and plants are still alive and happy and my water is crystal clear my plants and my terrarium are growing like crazy , I also use this to mix with pine bark whenever I am repotting my orchids , this is a great way to save money,. 😊
charcoal filter well/ok but activated carbon has a x1000 times more adsorption,, not absorption,, than regular carbon. there's a reason the stuff exists and cost more. compact higher level of chemical filtration and last longer than charcoal. 1000x times more porous . the process of making activated carbon is next level after charcoal/regular carbon. also NB NB we dont use wood to make activated carbon we use bamboo or coconut shell since it produces a a-carbon conducive to water filtration. charcoal will not filter out all chemicals. just buy a 25 kg bag ACarbon and save on cost. = R800 / 25 kg = R24 / 1kg
Are your fish ok I'm Shure you should have boiled the BBQ lumpwood first as it's normally impregnated with lighting fluid, or was that straight up unmodified lumpwood?, Good video cheers.
