I am not sure what happened, but I have a bunch of carbon resting in the bottom of my sump and after moving my skimmer and return pump around some of it has been sucked into my display tank.

Do I need to pick it out? I have been trying to suck up what I can during water changes and it looks like I have gotten rid of most of it, but some may and I am sure still is buried in the sand.

Is this dangerous for my livestock? Anything I can do?

It will never cause any kind of problem except for making black specks in the white sand.Smile
