Default ROX Carbon - Closed ** ARRIVED **
I want to try ROX carbon. Where would the best place be to grab some?

BRS wanted $20 SHIPPING for a $20 container. Nope.

Thanks.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I saw it there... but shipping info made no sense.

Could not figure out what it would actually cost.

I also read his post about it coming from somewhere else. Don't really get it.

Is it ROX, or is it Not?

Anyone out there who is a die hard ROX fan feel free to comment.

Thanks

Shipping is included in the price, or at least it always has been. Great guy to deal with and all his products are very good quality.

I know where he is... but want to buy genuine ROX. His post leads to believe its similar but not actually ROX... and his shipping says ...

"free shipping with any other purchase with free shipping"

WTH does that mean????

Anyways. I considered ordering but I was left confused after visiting his site and moved on.

I think it was confirmed it's not ROX. I'm not sure why it can be marketed as such.

ROX as far as this hobby has known thus far has been extruded carbon and this is also granular. When anyone says ROX they're referring to this specific carbon carried by BRS. I'd love for someone to source it on this side of the border...

I must jump in here & if I **** some one off well............it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out CaCo shipping. Over $100 total order - shipping is free.....if you place an order under $100 you need to contact him for a price. Where it says $11 per lbs free shipping with any other item with free shipping.....simple......$100 of any other product & 1 - $11 pound of carbon....there's no shipping cost.

ROX is a BRS name for there carbon from what I can tell & chances are it all comes from the same place. From what I can tell from the bag of CaCo's carbon I am looking at right now it is extruded small pellet form & honestly we all really need to support local vendors. If it doesnt get rust when in use it's good quality IMO.

I started using it recently & I can say that it really is a good product. I notice that my water clarity after 2 days was completely amazing. Also noticed some difference in my coral especially zoo's.
