A very experienced person told me that with any new batch of carbon, it should be immerged in boiling water then left overnight in a small container, then in the morning the water should be tested for copper.
If only I had knew about this possibility I would have done this. Then only if the copper test is negative one can use it in the aquarium. I am going to do this from now on when ever I wish to use carbon. I am only going to use Seachem Matrix carbon from now on and I will test it.

LOL @ Brad.
 I boil the carbon in RODI, drain it off, cover with fresh RODI and let it stand overnight. This is to leech any phosphate though. I don't test it for copper (I don't even own a copper kit). I guess a person could, but I've never heard of anyone doing that.
