Default GAC Supplier

I'm looking to buy some GAC. I've used the ROX 0.8 from BRS and find it's excellent stuff. Bulk Reef Supply is pretty cheap for high grade carbon. Anyone use other suppliers they've had good experience with. And what's the best carbon out there?

I have tried lots of carbon. We have the best luck with activated rox carbon from brs. I run a cup and change it every 2 weeks for a 200 gallon sps tank. I buy a 5 gallon pail and last a few years for $227 pretty reasonable. Only down fall if it compacts so easy so need to keep an eye on this stuff or it wont churn nicely.

+1 for ROX carbon from BRS.

Good value and it's about the least dusty carbon I've ever used.

Ya I like the ROX too. I also like Kent Reef Carbon, which is what I'm using right now since I got a good deal on it.
