To me there's no question. If you want a tank to last you a long time, run carbon. Sorry Denny, on that one I can't agree.

Here's a good article about it.. http://joejaworski.wordpress.com/200...k-need-carbon/

I've never run carbon religiously, once in a while sure but it's not required, my tanks have always done just fine without it.

I think some tanks will benefit more from it, like really mixed reefs that have lots of soft corals and SPS or tanks with high bio-loads, agressive feeding or undersized skimmers. Also if you're really anal about ULN then it might help you sleep better.
