I have turned the reactor off.....no difference as of yet in my SPS but my rics are open today. I have tested my parameters and from what I can tell everything is right around where they should be.

Why do you boil you carbon? Is there something I am missing with that step? Is it to help remove any phosphates that may be in it?

Thanks
