Corals release toxins and carbon can remove some...plus I never had negative results from using carbon only positive ones...so why not...let me guess, b/c it cause trates to raise. <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" /> <img src="graemlins//mischievous.gif" border="0" alt="[Mischievous]" />

Baron, you mean it removes certain trace elements from the water, and has the potential to leach certain things back into the water, No pun intended Yes its sucks up some good with the bad, but so does skimming and water changes <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />
