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

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 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 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...

Interesting. I do not think it can legally be sold as a branded product if it is not.

That would be false advertising. And potential for a law suit from the company who trade marked ROX.

ROX is made by NORIT AMERICAS. Anything else is not ROX.


Wes. How much do you want for a pound? I have a scale I can bring over.

Throw this out there....

Anyone in Edmonton who may be interested in going group on a 5 gallon pail and splitting cost equally let me know.

I could never use a 5 gallon pail of it in my lifetime. Shoot me a PM.

just a note that 5 of the 1g containers is cheaper than a 5g bucket due to volume discounts.

Ok maybe not! I do recall noticing that trend for the bulk chems (and I just re-confirmed it with calcium).

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.
