I have had lots of coral loss over the past 2 years or so, and could never figure out why. I have been running carbonless until recently with greater success. Put some kent back in after christmas and again major RTN, removed the only change being the carbon and rtn stopped and coral is doing great again. Never thought of carbon as the issue, but I have always used Kent... never again, and I recommend others dont either.
