Octopus ink (consisting largely of melanin in many cases) is not generally toxic, at least not in the concentrations and times exposed in the wild. I doubt anyone has done extensive testing on closed systems where it might stay around for a long time.

I would say that the carbon would be a very good idea. You may get a lot more info in the cephalopod forum.
