SPS Bleached

so it is a possibility that the carbon is the culprit, but not 100% closed case. at any rate it is out of the tank, I am doing water changes, and hope the corals turn around and open up in a day or 2. But still waiting to see if it solves anything, I also think adding carbon may have just added to it, so it could be a combination of 2 things

Wow, that is very interesting Daniella, thanks for sharing that.

Did you get a waterchange done Nano? How is everything looking?

yes 25% everything is still mad at me but I have some filter floss as well to hopefuly help out a bit

yes yes and yes......Ive seen a contaminated batch of kent carbon sticking to a magnet......I would like to see this professional laboratory analysis of your kent carbon......that must have cost a pretty penny to have your carbon tested like that....

Nano, the filter floss isn't likely to help. The Boyd Poly-Filter isn't typical filter floss...it is very good at absorbing heavy metals. It claims to do other things, but it is best known for its heavy metal absorbancy.

Here ya go Doug...

The column named Daniella is my current aquarium water after 7 water changes and addition of polyfilter for a few days. The colum named "charbon" (carbon) is the result of analysing the water that come from a clean food grade container that had one gallon of water with 1/4 cup of well rinsed Kent Reef carbon running for 10 hours. I had put about one cup in my aquarium.

The result of 346 ug/l translate to .346 mg/l of copper, way too much and the reason why my corals died and bleached.

I guess this proof that more carbon than what they have in their recall list is affected since the expiration date on my container is EX21NO14, which is not in the list.

Magnaneese and kicket released is also a bit high with this carbon, but it is the copper that is to blame for the coral death. I am going to send a sample of the carbon and this lab result to Kent tomorrow.

Ask and you shall receive.

So I did another 10g WC today, and have another 15g for later maybe tuesday. There are a few zoo's peeking out now which is nice to see. I think I might have 2 snails that survived. LPS still looks mad though. maybe later in the day or tomorrow will hold a different tale
