I just confirmed with Greg over PM that I bought the exact same stuff from the same LFS on boxing day. Lucky for me I had not yet cracked any of those boxes open to use.. I will be throwing them out pronto! I guess the price was too good to be true.
If any other Calgarians purchased cheap carbon over the Christmas Holidays from a LFS check to see if it is this brand of crabon.

The other sad part is, I was there last weekend and they still had a mountain of this stuff that they were selling for cheap. There's going to be a lot of unhappy reefers in the city if they've been using this stuff.. When you go, tell them to stop selling the stuff!

I wonder.. There are more HBH products out there, can we trust all that, or rusty carbon would say it all?

Seems rare with mysterious problems to ever find such evidence or explanation. Sorry to have read about all your problems Greg but I'm super glad you have answers.

Wow can't believe it
 ; I nearly brought a box of that stuff too! I suspect the metal is Zinc; which is sometimes a by product of carbon when it is chemically activated. I wonder if your batch had an unusually high amount of residue? After reading this; i ran a magnet over my Marineland (Black Diamond) carbon and sure enough their are traces of metal. Worth considering if this is why i have been battling tip burn? I think this could raise a few eyebrows! Simon.
