Then yes in your case that type of carbon is starving the chaeto of nutrients due to it being before the chaeto. Its possible the carbon is cleaning the water just enough to effect the chaeto growth. Just switch the 2 around or dont run them inline. If you had a fuge section in a sump and a cabon reactor before the fuge then I would say no way it would strip the water clean enough to effect chaeto. However the setup u have is a little different since all water going to the chaeto is fully filtered by the carbon. As the carbon gets older it should not effect the chaeto as much. Interesting setup I have never seenor heard of a chaeto reactor. I also personally would not have a fuge feeding into a chiller.
