What brand of carbon do you use?
I am just wondering if there is any difference between the different brands of carbon. I remember somebody said that the ROX carbon at BRS is the best carbon you can have. I am looking at the Kent Marine Reef carbon at J&L. Has anybody used it before? Would you recommend it? If not, what do you use and what's your thought on it? Thanks for your input.

I used it for a few years no ill effects I could see I'd recommend it
I also use ROX from caco3reef it's good stuff as well as far as I can tell my water is crystal clear

I use Kent, I bought a 5 gallon pail of it because it can be hard to find locally and when I run out its a pain to get shipped. I thought about rox but its been a long time since I used it (used to get it locally) and I can't really remember what all the fuss is about. I suppose once I run out of kent I might try a comparison to see if its really better but at well over double the price, Kent gets the job done for me. I would totally recommend Kent

I personally love it's extruded form. Rinses clear in 3 sec and with essentially no fines making the news linking HLLE to carbon fines irrelevant to its users.

I really noticed a difference when I started using Rox carbon. When I take my water out for water changes, it is almost as clear as the new water going in
 . As opposed to regular LFS carbon which always had a slight green/yellow tint to it.

I used Kent for years and was very happy with it but I have to admit I recently ordered the premium stuff from BRS to see what the fuss was about and there was a definite difference in water clarity....you get what you pay for
With that said though, if I run out of the rox before I need to place another order to BRS I would go back to Kent

I just started using blue life clear fx. It's an all in one, but it has carbon in it, so I figured I would post. So far, I love it.
