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.
Be careful with Kent... I had a couple bad years of SPS death, could not figure it out, until I took out the carbon and ran without. VOILA! SPS started recovering... Didn't figure out why though, until I decided to run carbon again, and had my Kent stuff. Put it back in and within a couple weeks, started having major RTN issues again.

I didn't have any Kent from the recall, but have decided this stuff is just garbage.

Was running Zeovit, now using Vertex ROX. Love the stuff and no issues. My tank looks incredible now. About time I say!
