For some filters this is easeir than others. I have both the ones that use foam blocks, and the ones that use floss sleeves. Since I only use carbon for removing meds it's easy to simply rinse off the floss/foam in used tank water and return it to the filter. Otherwise it's a bit of a pain to remove the carbon from the floss sleeve :%). ^_^
