Bunch of coral dying

what does running carbon mean??
Running carbon as a form of filtration.

Thanks. I see OP said water parameters appear in order, what filtration benefit would the carbon add in this context?
There are lots of things we can't test for. Especially some of the biologically produced coral toxins that they use to fight each other. Carbon helps remove those and other things you likely don't want in the water. Softies seem to be especially vigorous in producing these.

Never know carbon help with coral produced toxins..good to know that..

The reference to the benefit of carbon is exactly the reason why it is a very good idea to run (good) carbon at all times (just far less is needed than what sellers typically recommend).

Was listening to an old Jake Adams video where he said that he kept his after his filter roller to reduce the amount of gunk that got into his to maximize its life. Whether that does anything or not, it seemed like sound logic. I usually kept mine after my skimmer.

Absolutely. After the skimmer is the ideal location (tricky to do in my nano sump though). Unfortunately, the skimmer also reduces trace elements quite a bit.
