Would carbon take out any of the silicone fumes (or whatever you call the underwater equivalent)?

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I thought carbon takes out a lot of "stuff"
When silicone cures it gives off acetic acid, and if I remember correctly that is vinegar.
I read somewhere where people were dosing vinegar, as a carbon source, like dosing vodka
I'm sure curing silicone also releases other chemicals, but your carbon filter should take these out.
IMHO
