I have a 2 year old tank and have had the same 3 LPS (hammer, Torch, and Octo) and all have been doing very well for the 1st year. After the first year I decided to stop using carbon as part of my filtration. A few months later I started losing my torch to brown jelly (I'm not able to treat my corals due to them being glued to the rocks, I can only trim). A few months later I started losing my octo and now my hammer is showing it (I trimmed the dead heads off). It then occurred to me that I have not been running carbon. I'm going to start running carbon again to see if it stops the continued spread of the brown jelly. All Parameters are within limits with only the calcium being a little high which I am adjusting.)
Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this? Or if you have seen any correlation between using and not using carbon.
Thanks
