Just adding on from the previous thread on tannins. I've got a planted tank, and have just begun using carbon to 'lighten up' the tank a bit.
My question is, now that the carbon is in, will the carbon extract all the goodies the plants feed with, eg iron, trace minerals etc? Should I increase the liquid fertiliser? Your response will be appreciated.

PS Having little experience with carbon, using a AC 400 carbon sized bag in a 200 litre (I think about 50 us gallons)
tank, when should it be replaced?
