dshel1217 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I want to ask around to see if the better quality carbon really made adifferences? I need to get some more carbon and does anyone know of a good source ( a cheap trick ) locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+brian.srock Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Dshel, i also picked up some BRS rox in a group buy and if you need a cup or two to test it out let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJones Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This video is made by BRS, the sellers of ROX, so keep that in mind, but a very interesting comparison nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+brian.srock Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Also prior to getting my fluval I was mixing GAC with GFO in the same panty hose and my cliffnote from the above study link was don't use pellets and all they were testing for was removal of the yellowing of the water.

scubasteve92 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Would the ROX carbon work in a media bag in an AC HOB? I watched the video and those pieces are pretty small. Or at least seem to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ludakris Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 i dont see why the couldnt be used in a media bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've almost always used it in a media bag in a hob filter and seems to work great. I got ”the bag” from seachem because the pieces of carbon are so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
