I have sun corals, hammer coral, xenia, clove polyps, and a few button polyps.
Yeah the carbon is aggressive, but I will keep it going until whatever this is goes away. Old carbon can release its absorbed materials (or so I've heard) so when the problem is solved this carbon is going in the garbage and I'll scale it back. This ordeal has convinced me to keep a seperate reactor for carbon though. I'll but a new one for the pellets.
My tank is also designed to overskim...so too clean water is a worry later down the road...I'm wondering what to do for keeping filter feeders..I have had xenia for some time, and my experience is that stuff dislikes clean water..
