    Hi,

    I just had a bag of activated carbon break in my sump and some of the particles made it into my tank. I am doing my best to remove the pieces, but there are some I just can't get. Is this going to cause long term problems? How serious is it if activated carbon mixes in my live sand or gets traped under my zoos?
    Thanks in advance.
