I am guessing this is not normal? I usually remove my filter pad when I use charcoal, so I never see this but I was doing some blasting off the rocks and wanted to catch the crap so I left it in and placed a bag of charcoal on top. When I went to remove the filter to clean I found (photo 1).
I knew this was strange and suspected there might be metal in the charcoal. I used my mag float to check and photo 2 is the results of what stuck to the magnet in just 1/2 a container of Deep Blue lab grade charcoal. All of the charcoal/metal shown on the magnet and on red top is what stuck. I was shocked to say the least. Thoughts?
