A friend provided me his 40 lbs box of Kent Carbon when he shut down a few years ago (2006 maybe?). I didn't use all 40 lbs myself but I did use it exclusively for probably 3 years without issue. However I have heard cases where contaminates like metals have found their way into Carbon and caused coral death. For the last few years I've been using BRS Fine Lignite Carbon because it seemed like a better value.

Paddy, if you're so sure it isn't the carbon why don't you use some of Daniella's carbon in your reef?
 Anything is possible, and it sure seems suspect that there are so many people having troubles with their new container of Kent carbon in the last month or two. It will be interesting to see how this develops.I jut ran out of Kent carbon a couple weeks ago, and decided to try out the Brightwell Aquatics carbon as I have really been liking their other products lately. It sounds like I was lucky for once! Whew.
