GAC causing Head and lateral line disease in fish??

cato · 04/12/2011, 12:28 PM

My local reef club held our monthly meeting this past Sunday. During conversation it was mentioned that some recent research is showing a connection between use of granular activated carbon and head and lateral line disease in low mucus producing fish such as tangs.

Does anyone know of any links or info on this topic so I can read more on it? Thanks.

There have been lots of discussions here on the subject. I'll let you sort them out though.

There is a study just completed on this, papers are being written as we speak.
