I’ve been keeping aquariums for a minute or two, since I was about 12 and I’m getting letters asking me to joint AARP every birthday now.
Anyways, I have never seen this before. for some reason, this carbon got left by the trash can for a week instead of thrown into the trash can and it looks rusty. The tank is been recovering from COVID death for 8 months I had purchased this 55 pound bag from eBay and used it to help clear out all the decaying death in the tank. Well, the tank has been on the mend for a few months and stopped using the 5 pounds of carbon at a time probably 6 months ago but decided to run a few pounds of carbon 2 weeks ago and this photo is what I found once it dried out.
I’m trying to figure out if the rust color is from my tank or if it’s in th carbon.
