The carbon might be capable of starving the Chaetomorpha. I would have thought otherwise, though. Carbon might have a fairly limited lifetime in our tanks, although there are multiple options on this topic. If you want to try removing the reactor or reducing the amount of carbon in it, that might might help the Chaetomorpha. I'm more skeptical about the iron helping, although it might.
