activated carbon in a marine tank?

[lee_in_corpus]

if theres a panty drawer raid, im in!!!  :p

update on the tank......replaced the powerhead.  topped off the water (too tired to do a full change (maybe tomorrow).  been consciously feeding them a little less.

and it looks better tonite.  seems to have a lot less of a tint to it. 

did a ph test just for grins.  between 8.0 and 8.2.  which if im reading things right is right within a good range.

tbe power head will definately help clean things up a bit...
and the pH is in range.. try to take the test for pH at teh same time of day/nite

wow, my old powerhead must have been on its last legs.......the new on, in the same spot, is absolutely pounding my poor hammerhead!!  i may have to move it a bit!

[Bergy]

is the new one bigger or more flow, or is ithe same and like yousaid the old one was just really bad???

[lee_in_corpus]

the new one is actually smaller, and looks to be putting out a ton more current.  i believe its a 300 gph unit.  not sure what the old one was.  when i get home i'll see if theres any label on it.

[Bergy]

physical size isnt really a good way to judge capacity/flow

some pumps are mislabled/rated some are more efficient and prolly a bit more money, etc...

300gph shouldnt be problem unless the corals are RIGHT there next to the powerhead, but since you are there you need to make the call...

well the hammerhead was in full bloom last night, so i think its ok.  still gonna get a bracket for the powerhead.....

[Bergy]

great to hear... im sure they will continue to be full blooms and even fuller... they get really long and puffy...

They are pretty hardy and resilient... as long as you can see just a little flesh, then it will probably come back..
