Thinkthis carbon is safe to use?

[ChiTownRomeo]

I was out of town and asked my wife to order some carbon for the reef tank so it will be there by the time I returned. This is what she decided to get trying to save money. Think it's safe to use? I always used Seachem Matrix Carbon or Api bio chem Zorb.

I think you'll be alright. It should be safe but just might not filter as well do to the pellet size of the carbon.

Some say it's hard on tangs, but I have not seen this. It is especially useful if you have a mixed coral tank as it keeps defensive toxins down.

It shouldn't hurt anything if it is rinsed out well. Some say there are differences in activated carbon, but if this is only a temp thing then it shouldn't be a problem.
