3M ColorQuartz Washing??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My mistake. I was trying to answer quickly but forgot where I was posting.:D

Here is a link regarding carbon black
http://www.carbon-black.org/what_is.html

And an excerpt from the last paragraph -
Two other commercial carbonaceous products often confused with carbon black are activated carbon and bone black. Each is produced by processes different from commercial carbon black and possesses unique physical and chemical properties.
 
Also from that link:
Carbon black [C.A.S. NO. 1333-86-4] is virtually pure elemental carbon.
Guess what's activated carbon: elemental carbon.

Bottom line, as I said before, it's basically the same thing. Carbon black is just finer because, as deeda points out, it's produced differently. Carbon black is not more or less harmful to your fish than filter carbon. I think that was the question.
