How Not To Remove Medication Through Carbon Filtration System?

Q: As I understand that the function of carbon in a filtration system is to remove toxic substances. On the same thought, it also removes any medication that has been added to the water. If so, is there a substitute for carbon that will not remove the medication?

Carbon filtration is carried out to remove the unpleasant fishy smell from the aquarium. The carbon absorbs all the substances and smell passing through it. The carbon will also absorb chemicals from the medication. As such, your medicine will lose much of its effectiveness.

Ceramic Ring, The Better Option

What you could do is change your filtration system by using other biological filter media such as lava rock or ceramic ring. This will minimize the amount of medication being removed through your carbon filtration system.
