I don't use ROX, but use Kent Reef Carbon... Seems ok.

I use 1 litre in 2 - 500ml bags. I then alternating changing each bag at mid and end of month.

Thanks guys for you input, I set-up my 2nd MR1 today with 2 cups of the Carbon I got from Eli. So I will see if that will help clear my water a bit more, only time will tell.

2 cups of ROX in a BRS reactor for the 225g and 1 cup of ROX in a TLF reactor for the 90g. Changed monthly.
(Brett; keep your probe away from my system as well)

I have a pail of Kent Reef Carbon I'm finishing up, and then back to ROX. I use 250mL changed every 6 weeks on 90 gallon tank with 15 gallons in sump.
