Default What's your current carbon brand

In your reef tank, what carbon are you using in your reactor ?

I have a TLF 150 and am running out of the Fluval junk I had leftover from my FW days

Thanks for any input

Vertex Rox 0.8 Activated Carbon.
Powerful stuff, you only need 150mL per every 100gallons so a package of this stuff would last a long time for you and your 75G!

I ran that for years with no problems too.


But now I use Kent carbon. I know they had a crappy deal in the past, but I've been using it for over a year now with no problems, and good results. I also like that it is bigger clumps, so it's not as messy in the reactor.

I've been using BRS ROX 0.8 activated carbon. Seems to do the job really well.
