Now RECALLED! Sunday, February 19, 2012 1:27 PM (permalink) 0 There seems to be something wrong with a recent batch(es?) of Kent carbon causing major bleaching events and crashes in reef tanks. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2134021 http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=83178 <message edited by EasterEggs on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 8:32 PM>   #1 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Kent Carbon Alert!

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 8:32 PM (permalink) 0 Central Aquatics has put out a recall for their recent batches of Kent carbon.   Check the link at the bottom for affected batch numbers. Originally Posted by There is a quality concern with KENT Marine Reef Carbon manufactured between December 5th of 2011 and February 8th of 2012. The concern is that the batch of carbon contained unusually high levels of heavy metals which have an adverse effect on stony corals and clams in marine settings. When used in freshwater applications this concern would most likely be unnoticable.   Central Aquatics Recall Letter   #2 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Kent Carbon Alert!

Now RECALLED! Thursday, February 23, 2012 7:02 AM (permalink) 0 You're welcome Tal.    I normally use Kent Reef Carbon on my reef tank, and recently ran out.  Instead of buying my trusty Kent brand I decided to try out Brightwell Aquatics since I have been so happy with some of their other products.  Boy was that a stroke of good luck!  I would have changed to the new tub of carbon last weekend...before the recall was announced.   I guess there is a store owner in the US claiming $20,000 in lost coral.  Ouch!   #4 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Kent Carbon Alert!
