I just wanted to give a warning out to any of you that bought
"HBH" brand "AQUA-PURE" carbon on a Boxing day sale to not use it. It is contaminated with metals and has been very detrimental to my reef. Unfortunately I ran it for a month with it leaching into my system before I figured it out. Any of you that were at the frag meet would have witnessed some of the damage it was causing to my corals. I thought it was a potassium over dose but I now believe this stuff is my real problem. Here is what I found when I checked my media bags. $30 for a case seems like a good deal until it kills a thousand bucks worth of corals. As usual - you get what you pay for-
Here's a few pieces I took out for inspection. RUST = METAL! YIKES!
