sen5241b May 9, 2010 Share May 9, 2010 Very, very interesting article! HLLE and Activated Carbon: Looking for a Link | Coral Magazine I'm not going to remove my carbon but I am going to make absolutely sure its totally rinsed and not bleeding a trace of carbon when I put it in the tank. I'll be watching the results of this study. Everyone loves Chemi-pure and talks it up a lot but I've never seen anything bleed so much carbon into a tank. Becuase its crushed so finely you can't rinse it enough and they tell you on the directions NOT to rinse it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals May 9, 2010 Share May 9, 2010 I would love to read the articel. Do you have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschflier May 9, 2010 Share May 9, 2010 I would be very curious to read the article as well. I am curious if anything definitive has come up. I have heard so many theories and opinions but nothing conclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 May 9, 2010 Share May 9, 2010 I'd be interested as well to see if they have anything more than anecdotal evidence (I can provide anecdotal evidence based on my own experiences but can't back up the science behind it). FWIW, I don't believe that chemi-pure is that dangerous given that it's passive in how it's used. I used the chemi-pure bags for years and never got the type of HLLE that I get with carbon reactors tumbling carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grav May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 I strongly believe that over use of, and under rinsing carbon can contribute to HLLE, have been for close to 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sen5241b May 10, 2010 Author Share May 10, 2010 http://www.coralmagazine-us.com/content/hlle-and-activated-carbon-looking-link That's the article. Sorry -the link did not paste on first post. When I do rinse chemi-pure it seems to just bleed black forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschflier May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 That study is exactly what I am looking forward to seeing. I lok forward to seeing the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
