Hello all
So I plumbed a new carbon reactor to my tank and unfortunately the pump I used had too strong a flow to it through the reactor. I have carbon that went through my tank that was pulverized in the reactor. It has settled down after a few large water changes and doing a deep clean of the sump and skimmer but the continue to collect a carbon every few days in my socks. Fishes, corals are all doing great but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of the carbon that’s still loose in the tank? I have a feeling it’s layered in the plumbing as well. Thanks.

It should pass through your socks eventually and be removed that way. You may need to vacuum the sand with a python or similar if you’re really concerned.
