GFO and ROX8 carbon were not able to remove whatever was killing everything. I run two NexReef MR1 reactors and use BRS high capacity GFO and BRS Rox8 Carbon. The death of everything happened slowly. The magnet on this one must NOT have been contained. It was bought brand new from BRS a few years ago. The company claims that you should be able to leave the wet-side in the water all the time and that the magnets are encapsulated in a waterproof epoxy and blah blah blah....but the fact is, you can get a bad one, and if you do it will rust and slowly kill your reef. They do make quality products....but it only takes one defective unit to destroy a tank.
