Just recently went on vacation, my reef tank was thriving, I'm back now and my tank is not looking so good. Its about 70% of what it used to be. I did a good size water change the next day I got back, but wondering what everyone else would do to get all there water parameters back to healthy levels...Just water changes or???

One thing I did do is remove my carbon I bought from my LFS as a quick replacement to the Aquamaxx Carbon One I had consistently been using, took out the filter sponge in my sump and changed my filter sock a few times since I have been back. I'm thinking the amount of Carbon in the quick replacement I bought from my LFS may have been too much.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Definitely take out anything that wasn't there before the vacay. Another wc and you'll be good. When you add too much carbon it's never good.
