    Default What Brand Carbon?

    For years Ive used the Marineland Diamond formula until one week they were actually out. So I ordered the ROWA Carbon they sell.

    I was completely blown away with how much better it works. But not thrilled about the price of the volume you receive.

    So I am curious what everyone else is using? Ive been thinking of ordering a nice bucket from BRS but unsure which one I want.

    Thanks

    I've always bought cheep stuff. used to get it from Walmart. Last batch I got from TM01...can't recall the price but a small bucket was very cheap.

    I use this carbon in the large particle. I also get my magnesium here.

    I bought a bucket of small particle lignite carbon from BRS. I like BRS overall and the carbon works well enough but I would never purchase the small particle again. Too much dust and too much rinsing.

    In the past, I have always used whatever I happened to have laying around. After this big container of diamond is gone, I will probly be going with the large stuff from BRS.

    I did really like the chemi pure elite, until I got a phos reactor.
