activated carbon

Post by huxley »

I have a question about , vodka filtering. is there a proportion of how much activated carbon to how many litters., filtering through a long tube.

a second question I had, is there a specific type of activated carbon I need to buy , or is it just coconut shell carbon ?
is the activated carbon at aquarium stores the same stuff?

I'm trying to find a good product and a good place to buy in bulk

Thanks

Good answer Mikey-moo.

Huxley, download the Gert Strand .pdf and read it, study it, and memorize it. All your questions are answered there.
