I absolutely love this carbon. Almost no dust and highest surface area of any ive used. Crystal clear water! Highly recommend this product. Way to go BRS

Do not use in a reactor By Kat on 5/6/13

Kat wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

While ROX takes out the organics in the water much better than alternate carbon products, the particle size makes this a horrible choice for a reactor. In fact the product should clearly state "not for use in a reactor". I called BRS and switched to lignite small particle and could not be happier that most of the carbon is not being spit out. It might mean I have to use more product or change more frequently but better that than have carbon all over the place.

great carbon By Shaun on 5/6/13

By far the best carbon on the market. Its a very fine carbon and rinses in less than a minute and out last and out performs any other carbon.

Adding 1 cup of ROX to my BRS media reactor clears 100 gallons within 24 hours. Removes yellow tinge from water.

works great By Andy C on 4/8/13

Andy C would recommend this product to a friend

I've been using the ROX carbon for a few months now and it seems to work as advertised. I can't compare it to the other carbons, but can say that this one works. My system is 200 gallons total and I use 1.5 cups in a reactor, changed every two weeks. Things are still very clear by the end of the two weeks, so I imagine that it lasts longer, but I like to keep things conservative.

Pretty good stuff By Steve on 3/28/13

Steve would recommend this product to a friend

I haven't worked with a lot of carbon over the years, but this stuff seems pretty nice and high quality. I put it in my new BRS carbon reactor and it cleared up the tank in just a few days. I will probably replace more often than the instructions say though, from what I have been reading elsewhere.

Great Price in bulk!!

So far so good. By Flip on 3/5/13

Flip would recommend this product to a friend

Ok, I just bought a gallon of this stuff and loaded into my marineland Hot Magnum 250 filter. Too early to tell if will give any better results then the regular Carbon you buy at the local store, but there are two things I can definitely comment on:

1) This stuff is small. I didn't realize how small. It looks like metal shavings. I was a bit concerned it might make it out of the filter cartridge and jam up my filter, so make sure before you buy this stuff you have a fine filter sleeve/cartridge. Get a ruler and really look at a millimeter. This is .8mms.

2) They were telling the truth when they said it has low dust. After I loaded it into my cartridge I tried to wash out the dust. Normally the water runs black for about a minute but this stuff made me look stupid. I couldn't see the water dim at all when it ran through.

Anyway, that's all I got for now. Good Luck.

Won't use any other carbon!!!! By Anthony on 2/26/13

Used a ton of different carbon on my 150 gallon tank. Now I will never use anything else. I use this with a brs reactor with in a 1hr of adding new carbon the tank is crystal clear!!!

Fits in top of TLF phosphoban reactor By Paul on 2/21/13

Paul would recommend this product to a friend

I get this for the sole purpose of putting 1/4 cup in the top of my TLF phosphoban reactor just above the top circular foam filter. This allows me to get cleaner water, and also helps to catch some of the particulate from the gfo. Clean water and a sump not stained red!

Excellent media, definitely worth the extra money By Codemannc on 2/20/13

I used the cheaper media for years and finally realized that to be truly successful in the aquarium hobby, you need to spend money one quality equipment and media. This definitely worth every penny.

Well worth the additional price! By JABlacher on 2/4/13

JABlacher would recommend this product to a friend

The ROX carbon is a bit more expensive than the pellet and granular form but well worth the expense. Just be sure to watch the flow rate going through your reactor to insure that you don't shoot the media through your sponges and in to your sump. If you want crystal clear water this is a great help though!!

Great By Jose on 1/29/13

Jose would recommend this product to a friend

Very clean product, takes less than 1/2 a gallon to run clear. I've been using this with a BRS reactor and have been extremely satisfied. Highly recommend it.

GREAT PRODUCT WORTH THE PRICE By Bryce on 1/24/13

Bryce would recommend this product to a friend

This is the best carbon I have ever used compared to the carbon I previously used. There is almost no dust in this and it seems to last longer. The small size of the granules and the added efficiency of using it in a reactor allows you to use considerably less than you might require with other carbon. The superb quality of this product makes it well worth the extra few dollars.

Low end carbon can actually release phosphates back into the water. Best to pay a little bit more for the good stuff! BRS is the only place I trust!

Great Carbon...but By Joseph on 1/7/13

Joseph would recommend this product to a friend

The quality of the carbon cannot be disputed. It is the best on the market (in my experience).

However, in a canister filter I do not see sufficient difference between this and the BRS large Particle Carbon to justify the price differential.

If cost is not an issue, then its a no-brainer: buy the ROX

Best Carbon Available By Mike on 12/20/12

Mike would recommend this product to a friend

I run this in my BRS reactor and love it. Takes only a few seconds to get to run clear and ready for my sump. I did not think my water had a tint as it was clear. However after running this for a few days in the BRS reactor which I love, I can see a difference in clarity. My water did not need it but the added crispness is amazing. who knew it could get better.

This is simply the best carbon I have ever used. I dropped it in in a small media bag in my sump near my return pump, and within an hour, my entire tank looked crisp and clean! Really does a good job polishing the water!

Between a 125 gallon Saltwater reef, A 28 gallon all in one saltwater, and a 230 gallon freshwater tank. I have not found a better carbon to use across the board. I buy it once and use it everywhere. It seems to last as long as it says and it works well in the reactors I use.

This is the best By Subodh on 11/23/12

Subodh would recommend this product to a friend

I've tried various kinds of carbon, ones that are made from coconut husk, environmentally friendly and somehow.. the BRS Rox carbon was the last. I have to say this one is the best because
a) Works the longest
b) doesn't get clogged in the reactor as easily as others
c) does not bulk up and keeps the water crystal clear
d) Considering the cost, this one turns out to be quite economical.

Very low dust, and the tiny granulars make up for great surface area coverage and excellent absorption. By far my favorite carbon and the lack of dust alone makes the higher price worth every penny

I have been using this carbon, it is doing its job. My 90 gallon is sparkling clear. The only issue is due to its size, it gets into the screen filter for the reactor. It is hard to clean it out. Luckily I don't have to replace it as frequently as before.

This stuff rocks By Edward on 9/28/12

Edward would recommend this product to a friend

I have to say that I was a little worried about the size of this one. But when I put it in my BRS reactor, I had no problems. I can see that some of the pieces have gone into the top sponge, but not more than half way, so nothing is coming out. I love the fact that the ROX floats. It makes it so I can crank up the flow and not worry about it tumbling. I even put a little in my freshwater tank in a mesh bag and it made the water much more clear. It doesn't take as much as other GAC I have used, so use the calculator to see how much to use.

I used to just get whatever off the shelf carbon was the cheapest. But was always having water clarity issues. But after some research, decided to get some ROX and I'll never go back. Great filtering ability with very little fines or dust.
