I have not been in the practice of running carbon in my tank until dosing Prodibio. What carbon brand do you use? How much do you run in your 600ltr tank and what is your approximate bio-load (light, med, heavy)? I understand you just added a DSB, perhaps yesterday.
Zeo recommend 1ltr carbon per 1000lrs - changed every month - and they recomend thier own brand obviously - I think because it is not so adsorbant. I use 500ml Rowa Carbon in 2 of the trickle filter pods shown above. I'd say my fish load was light. I Mandarin - 2 tomato clowns - 1 purple torpedo - 1 royal gamma - plus two bubble tip anenomies fed once a week. The fish get half a cube of frozen mystis daily.

I'm going to add 4 or 5 yellow headed jaw fish soon now that the DSB is installed - should be great fun to watch them popping up and down stealing rocks from each other burrows Then - depending on how things shape up, a small shoal of something.
