Just found this and thought I would share it since this seems to be a hot topic among reefers as far as what causes it. The findings seem solid and are cause to really take a look at how you administer carbon. I've never personally had any issues with lateral line disease but I have seen tanks where you couldn't even figure out what species some of the fish were the deterioration was so bad.

I don't think carbon is the only thing that can cause this but I think it plays a big role in it.

had hole in the head in my fw until i stopped using carbon

had many problemes with hole in the head with my fw for years until i stopped using carbon, since i stopped never returned i think there is a strong link

I don't think the answer is to swear off carbon but I think it brings to light something that most hobbyists probably don't give a second thought.
