Default What carbon are you using?

What carbon is everyone using? I see so many different brands and do not know the differences between them. Any insight would be great.

ROX carbon from Bulk Reef Supply. Supposedly "the best" out there according to some of the nerds over on RC.

Looks like Rox is the stuff to have. Anyone need anything from Bulk Reef Supply? Time to make an order.
