Default Re: Charcoal filter question

Are you sure you want to do it through a charcoal filter? This will definitely filter out the brightener. I only use charcoal to remove brightener.

I always filter with the tank pre-heated to normal operating temperature. Filter out to a clean bucket (same size as tank), wash the tank out and then filter back into clean tank.

I use polypropylene filter cloth laid out in a large colander which sits neatly on the top lip of my tanks. a couple of layers of old polyester business shirt cut to size works fine as well.
