Carbon in the marine tank...

[Medicdude]

There has been some discussion that carbon may or may not contribute to Marine head and lateral line erosion, although not much for evidence based studies to support it. Something to keep in mind though.

Would carbon use help deplete magnesium

I've always run carbon in all my systems and Mhll is one of the few things I've never had problems with

Nor have I noticed carbon depleting mg

I'm a 24/7 passive style in my sump. Change your water & life seems good /trace replaced. I change my carbon frequently & also passivly run Purigen & phosphate media alongside.

i actively run 1 cup of carbon in my 120 gallon setup. I find it mostly helps with making sure the skimmer doesn't go crazy.

I change the carbon every 2 weeks.

I run carbon passively in my sumps and change it out about every 3 to 4 weeks. I think that it helps with water clarity.
