No, the best means for the rapid removal of dissolved aluminium occurs by a surface adsorption mechanism and incorporation into soft tissues of diatoms (golden alage). At least according to tests.

Thanks, Boomer.
I wouldn't think carbon will remove aluminum itslef, but some of the aluminum may be bound to organics that will attach to carbon. Why do you ask? Do you have elevated aluminum for some reason?

No....I'm discussing the use of artificial live rock (aragocrete) in the reef tank in another forum. Portland cement (which many recipies call for) contains aluminium...we are discussing the risk to the reef posed by this aluminium, and I wondered if carbon may help the problem somewhat...

It may help, and certainly won't hurt. I don't really know the primary export method from aquaria. Boomer may be correct that it may be eliminated by organisms faster than by carbon.
