Urgent Carbon Answer Needed Fast

[gvidal14]

I was adding new carbon to my carbon reactor and forgot to rinse it out before I turned on the pump. Now I haver a bunch of black carbon powdered water in my sump. I turned off my return before it got into my main display. If I turn it on and this powdered black water get's in my display, WILL IT HURT ANYTHING?

I've done this once or twice and just let it run until it cleared... it didn't seem to have any ill effects.

+1 run system. Your skimmer should pick it up and you will have black foam / sludge in it tomorrow.

+2 I think most of us have done this at least once. It should cycle through without too much problems.
