Carbon & HLLE

[mattdean]

I believe the problem stems from not rinsing the carbon well enough. There has been mention of the "dust" being the possible cause, along with the "type" or quality.

I agree with the dust principle. Said that in the early '90,s. Had several discussions with an American biologist/writer. My results from first hand experience with a certain carbon were the exact same as his with our mature sailfin tangs.

I have never seen a problem with a carbon like Black Diamond however. Never used the stuff you guys mentioned.

ROX is the ultimate carbon as my previous thread suggested

In some opinions.

that black diamond brand is very dusty....and the API carbon replacement packs are the worst! Rinse Rinse Rinse!

I haven't yet used a carbon with as few fines as the ROX. I tap rinse for like 2 - 3 seconds and it's crystal clear coming out of my TLF.

BD is not close to being as bad as the carbon we had problems with. I may try the Rox, once I use up the 5g or so I have already.
