I lost for around 700$ in corals and my carbon is not in their list of recall! Yet I have the professional laboratory analysis that prove that the carbon is contaminated with copper and nickel as well as a higher than normal content in arsenic.

So water change 30% each day or every second day (age the water for 24 to 48 hours) and use polyfilter to remove the contaminant. It does not take a lot of copper to kill everything.

I gotta ask. You took your carbon to a lab for testing? This must have been costly. Where do you even find a lab who takes stuff from a person "off the street"?

I would think most labs are closed environments.
