Anybody wanna split a bucket of carbon from bulkreefsupply?

I'd be into that. I would be in for 2 gallons

We could ship it to Point-to-point in point roberts and save even more in shipping

Just out of curiousity why ROX and not Lignite?
Is ROX twice as efficient as Lignite?
or does ROX last twice as long as lignite?

[Jason McK]

I don't know it must be better it's more money

I believe it's the way it's made. The process make a harder more effective carbon. I have the information around here somewhere I'll post it when I find it

Jason - get to work
Seriously though I have done my share of reading on carbon on RC and I can't find any literature that states that the ROX is 2x more effective. I would like somebody to prove me wrong so I don't have to keep reading about all these numbers linked to carbon.
On another note, I've only used regular carbon in the past 6-7 years and I've never tried this ROX which is suppose to be harder. But I've never had an issue with carbon dust with the regular carbon.
So does it being harder mean its more effective or harder means it doesn't create as much carbon dust?

Interesting quick glace at the articles posted by Bulk Reef Supply on the best carbon. Based on this article http://www.pets-warehouse.com/carbon.htm
- it states that the best carbons are lignite and rough shaped.
- second best carbons are bituminous
- the worse carbons are all pellet shaped.

Based on the product descriptions of the lignite and ROX:
- the lignite being sold is rough shaped
- the ROX is pellet shaped
- the ROX has both lignite and bituminous properties

Does the pricing and product description contradict their effectiveness in the articles?

That was the link I was looking for.

OA used to sell the ROX pellet in bulk. too bad his supplier stops selling it. I found it way more effective that the Black Diamond I'm using today.

If there is one, I'd be in for a gallon.
Thanks, Chris

That's exactly the reason!

Anyway, it looks like I've got a couple of takers so we'll soon see how well this stuff actually works.

Thanks Again Franklin for organizing the buy. The Carbon looks very interesting
