If carbon was bad for corals.....even GSP's...then a lot of us would have had serious problems. I run carbon on a regular basis to clean up or polish my water and I've never had reason for concern in regard to the well being of my corals.

Water parameters... can you give us numbers by chance on NH3, NO2, and NO3?
I run an emperor 400 on mine - I replace one of the pads aywhere from once every other week to once a month. It hasn't harmed my GSP's or any other coral.
Did your LFS tell you that? I'd read around here a good bit - LFS are normally out to make money, this board is not :yes: .
Welcome to the boards!!! :)

You should be careful of what brand carbon you use. Cheap varities release phosphates besides other harmful toxins that can have adverse affects on corals.
