![]() I believed they kept changing the carbon, but using the same freshwater carbon. But who knows. Just something to check if phosphates are not the culprit. Doesn't hurt to give extra information as long as your not reaching information overload.

![]() Yes, I've never heard of there being FW vs. SW carbon. It might be marketed that way, but G.A.C. is just carbon.....works in any water.

![]() Carbon can be a concern as some leach various compounds, and some carbon can be fine tuned to adsorb particular things, but they all work in any water.

![]() Seriously though, certain carbons may have an affinity to more of compound X in FW vs SW, but carbon is just a charged substrate that adsorbs other charged compounds to it's surface.

Even with totally green water, I registered elevated phosphate levels. After running the phosphate sponge, etc as mentioned above, it started to clear within days. The clams actually seemed to help too. I can't get the thread up, as it's too old now. But there was a TON of advice and within a couple of weeks the tank was nice and clear.

Also, here is a link for some carbon answers. http://www.calgoncarbon.com/faq/FAQSnew.htm We now return to our regular programming instead of highjacking yet another thread!!
