How much carbon is everyone using?
 
Wondering how much carbon is everyone using? Recommended amount from BRS calculator or more. BFS recommends I use just under 2 cup of carbon for my water volume.

I fill up my canister full on my BRS dual reactor.

I have half a TLF 150 reactor full of Chemi Pure Elite on a 30 Gallon setup... kinda overkill.

I've probably got 1 to 2 cups of BRS ROX or ChemiPure elite on my 40g at all times.

I use 1 cup ROX 0.8 per month on my 110 system. Hanna checker reads 0.

1 cup in 180 changed monthly.
