Activated Carbon

[BMorgan]

Ok, so here's the thing. I have heard a lot of conflicting info about activated carbon and I really don't know which info is good.

Good or bad?

The fish freak at PETCO (not that I trust her really) swears that it's bad, but the lady at one of my LFS says that her husban is a marine biologist :dance: and they use it in their store and everything is fine.

Thoughts? Opinons? Random comments?

I use both carbon and an iron-based phosphate absorbing media at all time.

I presently run carbon but am considering dropping its use except when I need to filter something out.
