Greg, I don't know if you've ever tried polyfilters/polypads? I've had success with them before, you might want to look into getting some to remove the metals in your water.
Heres a link to them, maybe you can find them locally: http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...7/Poly-Filter/

Before you throw it all out, run a magnet through it. If any sticks take a picture and email it to the company.

That's pretty nasty. Hopefully you found the source and not the cure, I know carbon isn't very effective at removing iron and other heavy metals but it does does remove small amounts. Is it possible you have an iron overdose somehow? Did you test for iron?
If you have some unused carbon remaining from the batch you could soak it in RO water and test for iron.

Here is a pic of mine from my discus tank.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rossmct/4311914729/ I bought at OC, and Golds. Big Als was listing it online, but I didnt look in the store. Looks like $30 worth of litter to me...or plant filler or something like that.  This could be why I now have slime algae all over my plants since adding it. Thankfully my SW tanks are not using it.

Small Claims Court... works wonders. 100 bucks to file.. for $1000 claim its not really worth hiring a lawyer to contest it.. you'll win automatically.. and even if they do file a defence, you've got a pretty good case.
