Hi. I'm setting up a 150 gallon tank that will be Malawi cichlids. Its been cycling for a week or so now and I have what I believe is a rather silly question but want to just get it out there. Should I use carbon and or ammonia reducing substrate (each is contained in a cheese cloth like bag as part of the built in wet/dry filter in back of tank)? Or, just a mechanical filter (foam like mesh) prior to the bio balls?
Thanks for any help.
