Carbon removes the beneficial elements from saltwater, and freshwater for that matter. I never use it unless I've had something toxic die in the tank, then I also do a 25% or larger water change along with using the carbon for a day or so then discarding it.
Foam in our AC Mini is thoroughly cleaned in outgoing changewater weekly. The amount of grunge that is exported is unbelievable, especially since we're skimmerless too.
