will a carbon water filter do the same as aging water?

[Gaber]

the question is clear
i have a 900 liters tank and aging water for a daily change of 300 liters or so is impossible
what if i use a carbon water filter to clean the water before i fill the tank with
will it be the same as aged water?

[Trier20]

No. You can still get a ph swing

[Gaber]

but the PH in egypt is stable at the number of 7 never goes higher
and in my 900l tank i have 70 kilos of drift wood which dose the work on taking it done to 6.5

i am just thinking if i use the carbon filter and fill so slowly will the filter take the water chlorine and other toxic stuff in the water?

Is the PH in your tank 7? If you get the tank to 6.5 and your tap is 7 then all the carbon will not change the fact that you have a .5 swing, regardless if all CL is removed. (Not sure Carbon removes Chloramines.)

I do 90-95% water changes each day using minimally aged water ~1 hour. I used to age 24 hours, but I realized that pH did not change between tap, aging barrel or tank. I do use declor.

question

is the water you would be age different than the water in the tank?

also you are doing approx a 33% water change?

a pH of 7 from source and tank water 6.5 (due to tannins leached from wood) would not really be a pH swing or .5 since you are not changing the entire volume of the tank.
the biggest concern may be chlorine/chloramine..but I use dechlor in all my tanks and unless I am trying to make water different from my source I don't age.

like platylover my only tank I am concerned with using aged water is the P Altum I got in 2011 which are slowly transitioning to source water.
their original water was pH <6

Activated carbon will remove chlorine.
