OMG!!! I have been using it since Boxing day but have no ill effects. Mind you, I don't have any hard corals anymore (flat worm infestation from the same place I did not catch in time).

Will it harm my fish? Everybody seems fine and happy... will check it out after dinner darned it.

I wonder..
There are more HBH products out there, can we trust all that, or rusty carbon would say it all?

I used to use thier food.
"HBH Super Soft Spirulina Fish Food"
It was okay.

Holy Crap Greg! So sorry to hear this.

Seems rare with mysterious problems to ever find such evidence or explanation. Sorry to have read about all your problems Greg but I'm super glad you have answers.

Wow can't believe it ; I nearly brought a box of that stuff too!

I suspect the metal is Zinc; which is sometimes a by product of carbon when it is chemically activated. I wonder if your batch had an unusually high amount of residue?

After reading this; i ran a magnet over my Marineland (Black Diamond) carbon and sure enough their are traces of metal. Worth considering if this is why i have been battling tip burn?

I think this could raise a few eyebrows!
