Try this on your carbon

There was a 400 gallon tank about a year ago where rust was found in the carbon. Something about a group buy. The tank was adversely affected by the rust, so perhaps you are lucky.

Just curious... why would you hot water soak your carbon?

I thought you were only supposed to use cold while rinsing or cleaning?

Would you have the same effect if you soaked in cold water?


Strange none the less. Not sure if I missed it... but what brand of carbon is that?
