Works in BRS reactor By Vincent on 4/14/13

Vincent would recommend this product to a friend

product works well in BRS reactor
Great reeling product! By Felixpaws on 3/13/13

Felixpaws would recommend this product to a friend

The small size has more surface area for adsorption, and fills the space better, than the large granule. Works well, in reef environments, with little rinsing required.
Works great but hard to get water flow. By Isaac on 2/28/13

Isaac would recommend this product to a friend

This has cleaned up my water very well and thus I would recommend it to a friend but I might recommend that he try the large particle version as it seems I can not find a pump that can comfortably push water through the small particle stuff.
Crystal Clear By Samuel on 1/3/13

Samuel would recommend this product to a friend

I never thought I could have this clear of water til I started using BRS carbon. As soon as I use up my gallon of small particle carbon I will be trying out ROX.
Good enough for me By greg on 9/15/12

greg would recommend this product to a friend

I havent tried the premium stuff yet, dont know if I will. This stuff made a difference in my water clarity, especially when used in a reactor. This definitely beats the marineland stuff and pretty much anything else. you can tell the difference.
great product By chad on 7/6/12

chad would recommend this product to a friend

Bought this awhile ago, has lasted a long time. And has been an excellent carbon. I chose this over rox because I change my carbon out every 2 weeks. Works great in my brs reactor

Good stuff for brs reactors By Reefa on 4/6/12

Reefa would recommend this product to a friend

It works great in my brs reactor and my water is crystal clear!! It took about a week to kick in but when it did, it was crazy. My only complaint is that it's super dusty. But it's not a big deal.

All of our carbons work well in the BRS reactor which is our suggested method of utilizing carbon in the aquarium.

BRS Lignite 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 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.

BRS Bulk Lignite Carbon comes in small or large particles. Large particles are easier to work with, while the small particles will be slightly more efficient.

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 Premium ROX 0.8 Carbon.
