Nano, the filter floss isn't likely to help. The Boyd Poly-Filter isn't typical filter floss...it is very good at absorbing heavy metals. It claims to do other things, but it is best known for its heavy metal absorbancy.
Here ya go Doug...

The colum named "charbon" (carbon) is the result of analysing the water that come from a clean food grade container that had one gallon of water with 1/4 cup of well rinsed Kent Reef carbon running for 10 hours. I had put about one cup in my aquarium.
The result of 346 ug/l translate to .346 mg/l of copper, way too much and the reason why my corals died and bleached.
I guess this proof that more carbon than what they have in their recall list is affected since the expiration date on my container is EX21NO14, which is not in the list.
Magnaneese and kicket released is also a bit high with this carbon, but it is the copper that is to blame for the coral death. I am going to send a sample of the carbon and this lab result to Kent tomorrow.
