About 2 months ago started running carbon in aquarium-mixed reef-had some issues and parameters i didnt care for…not sure if leathers released something as my toadstools, finger leathers and gsp all closed up for like 2 weeks
….all have opened up since, gsp seemed to lose their green but have colored back up

Tank parameters now…

salinty 1.025
Calcium 445
Magnesium 1350
Alkalinity 9
Phosphate .01
Nitrate 20

nitrates have always been a struggle for me for whatever reason-they run between 10-20….thinking I probably overfeed

run gfo in a bag in sump sock…and carbon…

the carbon-can that stay permanetly or should i pull it eventually

all corals and fish seem fine in aquarium

Carbon will expire after 2-3 months
Leathers release terpenes in which carbon will curb it
