Same here too. Never not used it. Never seen a problem from using it.

try using a bag of chemi-pure marine. I used to use carbon in a reactor, then stopped. The only difference I saw was that the water was a tad less clear. I now put a bag of the chemi-pure in the sump and the water is ultra clear. Plus after 3-4 months I just toss it out and put a new one it. They only cost like 14 bucks on Amazon.
I have heard that Carbon looses it ability to Polish water at 30 Days.
So it would be pointless to go 3-4 Months.
Of course I have also heard people say 7 Days and 24 Hours too.
How long does it really last?
Chemi-Pure seems to last longer than a month for me. I used to have a dual reactor with carbon and GFO but I ditched that. My water was too clean for my SPS. Colors were bland. Once I ditched the reactor I did notice the tint of the water changed. That is when I started throwing in a bag of the chemi-pure in the sump. I leave it in for about 3 months. I pay like 15 bucks on amazon so 60 a year isn't bad.I have heard that Carbon looses it ability to Polish water at 30 Days.

Maybe I'm just buying I to the paranoid people lol. I asked adam .. battle corals and he said when he's used it he had damage so he stays away from it. With that being said I know his nutrients are on the low side. I'm probably just gonna stop use because I don't think I need it.
