Does this mean to never run carbon in your tank if you're keeping tangs? No.
I took that we can still run a high quality hard carbon with tangs assuming we have an efficient protein skimmer running. Better yet some form of mechanical filtration (filter socks, filter pads, etc.) in use as well to help remove carbon fines.
