Good stuff By James on 2/28/13
James would recommend this product to a friendCan't beat the price and quality.
Does need to be thoroughly rinsed out though. -
Great product By Jay on 2/18/13
Jay would recommend this product to a friendVery happy so far, little to no rinsing needed. -
cant complain, By andrew on 2/17/13
andrew would recommend this product to a friendit does what it is supposed to do, and it does it very well. does it cheaply too. I dont think you can find a better price anywhere, at least not for the same quality product. BRS has all round great prices and high quality product, thanks again -
Priced Right By Thao on 1/26/13
Thao would recommend this product to a friendYou can't beat the quality and price. I have used brand named carbon with the same results. Make sure you rinse very well. -
Takes a few more minutes to rinse By Joseph on 1/7/13
Joseph would recommend this product to a friendI've used this as well as the BRS Premium ROX 0.8.
They are both great products. However, in a canister filter I did not see sufficient difference between this and the ROX 0.8 to justify the price differential.
If cost is not an issue, then its a no-brainer: buy the ROX -
very good media By 241wrasse on 12/22/12
241wrasse would recommend this product to a friendGood media, good price buying the 1 gal container. Easy maintenance. Cleans easily: dump the old carbon & remove sponge, then simply dunk the cartridge once into water. I've found it's easiest to clean the sponge by flicking an edge of it with a finger, large particles just jump out/off the sponge - best done in a 5 gal bucket to avoid lignite getting scattered across the room! -
Good stuff By Greg on 10/23/12
Greg would recommend this product to a friendRinse well before use, but it works really well. I see a noticeable difference in my water clarity after using it for a day or so. I've used it in both a BRS reactor and a filter bag. -
Keeps tank clean By Robert on 9/20/12
Robert would recommend this product to a friendThe lignite does keep my tank real clean, however it still has a bit of dust. I do like the value of the lignite. -
Awesome Product By Dusty on 9/9/12
Dusty would recommend this product to a friendJust switched to this carbon and the difference is amazing. It quickly washes out the dust and is easy to put into the BRS media reactor. Definitely will buy again! -
great product By scott on 7/14/12
scott would recommend this product to a friendI just started using this carbon (large) particle on my 120g reef. Im using a small canister with a small rio pump to push the water through it very slowly as long contact time is what you want with carbon. It is keeping my tank crystal clear. It is easy to rinse and I change it out every 2 weeks. -
Good balance of cost to performance By Lee on 6/18/12
Lee would recommend this product to a friendLike any material the duration is based on concentration of compounds you want to remove in contrast to the volume of media. I find this grade to be a good balance in performance to value/cost.

Bulk Reef Supply Activated Carbon will outperform competing brands for less. The primary function of carbon is to remove color pigments, pollutants, and medications from an aquarium. Each has a larger molecule structure and requires a carbon with a pore size large enough to effectively remove them. Our Activated Lignite Carbon contains a high number of large pores capable of removing these molecules.
We purchase our carbon directly from the manufacturer so we can offer the best carbon at reasonable prices. While most companies claim their carbon is the best, our statement is backed with true science and real numbers.
Bulk Reef Supply Activated Lignite Carbon comes in small or large particals. Large particles are easier to work with, while the small particles will be slightly more efficient.
- Lignite Carbon Specs
- Molasses Decolorizing efficiency 85 MIN
- Dust% 0.40 Max
- Iodine Number 625
- Surface Area M2/g 650
- Total pore Volume mL/g 0.95
- Washed with Hydrochloric Acid
- Food Chemical Codex Passes
***Special Note*** Lignite carbon contains more dust because it is softer. Be gentle when rinsing and do not tumble the material in a reactor which will create more fines. Carbon is most effective at slow flow rates. For a harder carbon with low dust please try BRS ROX 0.8 Carbon.
