Great overall product By BobbyT on 11/24/11
BobbyT would recommend this product to a friend
Exceptional performing Carbon. I'll never buy anything else.
Only downfall is, the granules are so small they past through the sponge filter in my reactor once in a while.
Overall great addition to anyone's tank

Great Stuff! By Bobby on 11/22/11
Bobby would recommend this product to a friend
I love this carbon. It works really well in my aquarium. It lasts a lot longer than the other brands. I would strongly recommend getting some if your not already using it. A must have item IMO.

Great Filter Media By Pili on 11/22/11
Pili would recommend this product to a friend
Used both in my fresh water, and reef tank. Goes right to work! If using in re-useable mesh bag, it's gotta be fine mesh. I had to put into nylon stockings.

is a very good read when choosing when and if carbon is appropriate in your tank.

Potent stuff By Jay on 11/5/11
Jay would recommend this product to a friend
I cannot stress enough before you hook up your new carbon/GFO reactor, check the reef calculator (for both the carbon and the GFO) I wasn't sure how much to add so I filled the container ~ 1/2 way full when I was only supposed to use 4 tbsp ! This stuff really goes a long way provided you don't waste it. And be advised to watch the videos; The carbon isn't supposed to tumble (at all) and the GFO is supposed to tumble only the slightest bit. There's a You Tube of a guy setting up the Carbon/GFO reactor and he made same mistakes I did at first so check the reef calculator prior to dosing. (Great stuff though, my tank has never been healthier! My ricordia are ~2" across!

I have always used carbon in my tanks with much success. The .8 is very effective.

Be carfule if using a reactor By Eric on 10/28/11
Eric would recommend this product to a friend
Like everyone else says, this stuff is good. HOWEVER, be very carful if using a reactor like the 2LF phosban reactor. The foam sponge filters will not stop this from getting in your display tank!!!! as far as carbon goes, these granules are very small...

Best carbon I have ever used By Marcus on 10/24/11
Marcus would recommend this product to a friend
This stuff really works!! Water is kept crystal clear. You don't have to use very much either, about half the volume of bituminous carbon.

I noticed a difference within hours of putting it in the tank. I can use 3 cups for about a month on my 240. Would highly recommend this to everyone.

I've got a 240 gallon tank and 3 cups will last me easily a month. I notice a huge difference in water clarity after an hour of replacing with new carbon.

Used in a BRS reactor this product makes the water crystal clear!

smaller but more efficient By Nathan on 10/4/11
Nathan would recommend this product to a friend
This carbon is much smaller pellets than most carbon on the market I have seen. I can imagine that is a good thing with the added surface area. Make sure you have a filter bag / sponge that will trap this stuff thou.

Works well, but very fine granules. By Kevin on 9/27/11
Kevin wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
The ROX carbon works well enough in my reef tank when used in a media reactor. If your tank is already in decent shape (ie. no major problem with discoloration/cloudiness, or heavy bio-load) I would recommend just getting the Lignite carbon. I could not see the value in this carbon over any other quality carbon. (If I'm going to pay double for a product, I expect it to work twice as well. Another problem with the ROX is how fine it is. As stated above, it can only be used in a media reactor. (I do recommend the BRS reactor! :) I have a freshwater cichlid tank that uses power filters. The ROX carbon can not be used in any of the flow through cartridges in my filters. It washes through the filter and dumps into my tank.
To wrap up. If you have a dirty tank that has a media reactor. I recommend the ROX. With a fairly clean tank or to just maintain already clear water, save your money and go with the lignite.

Goes a long ways By Scott on 9/16/11
Scott would recommend this product to a friend
This carbon goes a long ways. Takes very little time to rinse compared to other carbons I have used in the past, just a matter of a few seconds.
