There is little conclusive proof one way or the other about carbon removing nutrients necessary for plant growth. However, there is no need for carbon in a healthy properly maintained tank. Best to save yourself the expense of the carbon and not use it. This way if it actually does remove anything that your plants need you don't have to worry about it.
This is kind of off topic, but kind of on topic. I just got a piece of driftwood that I'm going to have to boil to get rid of tannins and get it to sink. I'm sure there will be some more tannins coming out within the weeks following. Carbon cleans that up right? You are saying that it won't be a problem for my planted tank to put that in?
Are you talking about the driftwood? Who said that? You may want to start a new thread about that, so it does not intefere with the main topic at hand. That will expose your question.
