Yes. I also have seen great improvement since I've removed it from my system. My tank is still recovering, my SPS hasn't yet returned to the same colours I had before.

These are signs of overdosing of iron
If its not iron, it is something and it is linked to the carbon in my mind. It happened right after I put it online, and stopped after I took it out of my system. Either way I'm still thankful for this thread because I probably would have been struggling for weeks or months trying to figure out the cause.
