Chemi-pure Elite particles in tank- will it hurt fish?
Never used it before but I rinsed it well and put some in a HOB Aquaclear filter on QT tank. It leaked some particles and I can't get them all out. It's not too bad. But I see some on bottom. I'm trying to blast them to get filter to suck em up. But can the particles in anyway hurt fish? Bottom dwellers that might eat some? Fish breathing it in?

Some say carbon fines, which I presume these are, can lead to lateral line disease.
