Reefs.com Aquarium Tips: Carbon. Going over facts and myths. 

RICHARD MILLER thanks Rich! I appreciate the kind words and thank you for allowing me to feature your tank.

thanks bud! - Richard

thank you very much Scott!

Thanks bud! Appreciate the love!

reef guy 92 happy to have you here! Thanks for subbing!

Billy Pipes thank you Billy!

Daniel Salt Thank you!

Carlos Bautista thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it!

There are more sizes then the big 75g. Look for the smaller ones. :)

Depends on the application but i think if you are talking about chemipure in particular, i would go with one large bag of blue.

I have always had small bag of chemipure in my hang on back filter. I dont see why it would be bad.

vikinglord13 they actually do have a large bag. I believe it's called grande. It clears 300g I believe. I will try to find out more about it tomorrow.

Thank you! I would trust chemi-pure in my system over bulk carbon any day.

Tim Webb oh Jeff is definitely a fun guy to be around. Whenever you see him at shows or just hanging out at his office or meetings, he's usually the funniest guy in the room.

According to them, from independent testing, that's what they got with their carbon. Very little amount removed. If you have seen any studies or test/lab results please share with me.

YAS! Bitch! Hahaha

CUBAN REEFER yea, this video was about carbon. :)

reefs ups you are right man

I will ask Jeff about doing a video on chemiclean. ;)

Perfect Thank you! Great vids

Hey Phil & Kyle. Can you send me a link to the recent studies? Only reputable study that was shown about this was from Jay Hemdel (Whom I greatly respect and that was on 2011 and even that had some anecdotal points. ) Scientist that emailed him said for him it was caused (theory)"...small sharp dust particles would get into lateral line and bounce around because of the hair cells causing the erosions and subsequent fibrosis." So not minerals or elements. Here is the original science article on it that Jay published from 2010. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08997659.2011.608608 Not once it was mentioned why or point to specific mineral or element. So I would like to see what you meant by it. Many companies since then actively wash the carbons to reduce amount of fine dusts (chemiclean even comes wet out of the can) and tell the end users to do so as well. If you think it's that bad, do you think reputable companies such as Polyps Labs, Boyd and Julian Sprung's Two little fishies (just to name few) would continue to sell them? What I would like to know besides finding out the recent study is what elements and minerals that you talking about. I would really like to see the science behind it (not he said she said nor your personal experiences) because previous independent studies I have been shown (via ICP) showed no signs and noticeable changes in , minerals, elements and ions. Another thing is adding what element avoids HLLE? Anecdotal findings around the world shows good water and good nutrition is just as bad culprit when it comes to HLLE. Personally, I run carbon 24/7 all day without any issues. I have 4 tangs in my aquarium currently without any ill effects and I often visit multimillion dollar facilities and public aquariums that utilizes carbon 24/7 without any ill effects in their systems. (I actually just visited Frost Museum less than 2 weeks ago and their curators can vouch on that) I look forward to your response.

Phil & Kyle. Tell me about the dangers of vaccinations, too. Where are You getting Your stupid info?
