How much Rox carbon are you using on this system? And how often are you replacing it?

I have been looking at swapping to Rox but afraid it might strip out too much.
Thank you Sahin.

I am currently using 75 ml of carbon in a 200 nylon micron filter sock and replace it every three weeks. I will increase this amount to 90 ml this week and will replace it every three weeks. I will also rinse it under RODI every week as per Boomer's advice, which is something I have not done so far.

I know for the fact that in my tank this is a safe amount because it did not trigger any adverse reaction from any of my corals, including clams, when I fluidised it in a TLF reactor in the past. 90 ml is the recommended maximum according to the instructions printed on the packaging for my tank's volume.
