I've heard that activated carbon causes HITH in aquarium fish. What is a good media replacement for carbon???

Apparently AC (Activated Carbon) either seeps out impurities or the dust from the AC causes HITH (hole in the head) disease in aquarium fish. If this is so or if this is a major contributor to HITH, what is a good replacement media to place in the aquarium filters (instead of AC) that will remove impurities like AC, but not necessarily remove trace elements or seep out impurities like AC when the saturation level is reached?

Activated carbon filters out impurities from your water. However, it is like a sponge, it can only hold so much, and once it is "full", it WILL start to seep the impurities it contians back into the tank if it is not replaced, usually once or twice a month, depending on the type and amount of fish in the aquarium
