That was really mean (but funny though) Glad to hear your aquarium didn't brake. I saw where you listed that you are using two magnums (a 350 & 250). What are you using for biological filtration? Neither of these are biological filters. They are both mechanical and chemical filters.
Your lighting sounds ok assuming that they are aquarium lights (not shop lights or similar) and that the lamps are less than 18 months old. How many total watts of light are you using? Your tank doesn't get any direct sun light does it?
Are you regularly testing your water? As many and as messy as your fish are, your water changes and gravel vac might not be enough. There is no correct formula for how much and how often aquariums need water changes. Only a test kit will tell you how much and how often you need to be doing.

That's just very mean. Glad that it did not happen.
OK for your activated carbon, i have no idea how much you'll need as i do not have any experience on it. but getting some of it in is better then none. so you'd have to use your own judgment.
