Help-Skimmer Causing Tank to fill with Bubbles

What polyester bag do u put the carbon into?
I read the thread about the 3 day/month but i still cannot imagine where you would place the bag of carbon, sump? tank? is it near the return pump? is that why the bag is sucking thru the pump?
please explain, i'm a newbie myself, thanks.

dustypop - always good to hear that information has helped someone!

hagadiii - I think you have a 150 gallon tank? This post is referring to the 34 gallon Red Sea Max tank, so what we nano tank owners do may not apply to your situation. I wish I knew what to tell you on where to place the carbon in your nice setup! In the RSM tank the carbon goes into a filtration section in back of our smaller tank. The only thing I could think of for your situation would be to run carbon through a cannister filter, but there may be a better spot for it - maybe in the sump somewhere?

I simply buy a large enough replacement bag that is intended for an outside filter. I place the bag in the inflow chamber in the sumb and it lodges itself. I think that the key is a large enough bag. I hope I havent been too confusing.
