It does, but it would have to be a lot of carbon to make a significant
difference in bacteria populations when you remove it.  Also, if you have
LR, (or any other type of biological filtration fort that matter) in your
system, you shouldn't notice any spikes. 

IMO

        Hello fellow reefers I just wanted to know, does bacteria colonize
on 
        carbon.  I've been running carbon for 4 months without changing it,
will I 
        get an ammonia spike if I change it? I have a heavy loaded tank.
Thank you 
        Joe
