    are there other things that ppl may be dosing thier tanks with that the carbon would remove also? or is it just iodine/iodide?

    Other things naturally found in sea water are removed , but apparently in very low amounts
    Iron, Manganese, Molybdendum, Cadmiun, Zinc - there are additives I have seen for the 1st 3 on this list (I dont use them, I have just seen them)

    this guys knows more about every subject in reef keeping than I do, so he can tell you more about what carbon does and also what skimming (called foam fractionation on this article , its skimming)
