!!!!!!! Could be!!! And what really sucks is I see when things started declining, you put in MORE carbon!

You are right, I used to put more carbon when something happens and I thought there is a poluttant in my tank. What a stupid thing I did in the past !
So no more carbon for me like globaldesigns say.

Ok...I was not dreaming. There was no possible other reason for my tank crash.

But I do want to be refounded for the loss of some of my corals. I surely hope they will refound that. I don't know what they will do for the store owner who lost 10k in corals??

Mine is also from that bad batch. It really upset me when I think that I was trying to do the best for my reef by putting fresh carbon, and that killed my most precious corals

Big lesson learned, never ever use carbon that is mined ever again. I will only use things like polyfilter or similar, never use carbon again.

That's almost ironically funny.. in a sad and depressing sort of way..
