of course you can, it's only about space & $$$

but remember to replace carbon at least monthly...

:) so what are the advantages of running carbon?

bro, i believe carbon remove some toxics n yellowish tint from the water. Also, it might remove some trace elements as well. You might need to dose trace elements or just use it periodically as and when it is required.
