Discovered Rusty MP40 Magnet.

I discovered a rusty mp40 magnet Durning my cleaning.

What should I do? Throw in Carbon and call it a day? Water change?

Yes and yes. Corals look ok it’s probably fine, but I’d do a big water change anyways

Run a poly filter as well. They are good about removing metals from the tank.

And that is why I no longer buy vortech pumps. I would do a normal size water change and perhaps buy a poly filter.

I run mesh socks. I'm sure I have poly laying around. Corals are starting to lose color.

Poly and carbon as said and don't panic and pull a bunch of levers right away. (Aside from from Ploy & GAC)

Which kind of corals are losing color? Soft/LPS/SPS?
