To carbon or not to carbon...

Got a 110g tank with sump /refugium.

Will be adding a protein skimmer this week.

Now, should I also add carbon? If so, what is the best way?
 
You'll get every answer concerning carbon. Some people run it 24/7 (it will remove some things that skimming does not), some never. I personally only run it when things look a bit off for no measureable reason, so I assume coral warfare (Allelopathy).
 
I quit carbon when it was suspected of causing HLLE in tangs. I only run it in emergencies.
