Chemipure vs RXO carbon

[mskvarenina]

Been thinking about adding some carbon to remove the yellowing of my water and presumably absorb other things.

What's your opinion on using plain old ROX 0.8 carbon vs Chemipure which is some level of high grade carbon and presumably some other secret ingredients?

I bought Chemi-Pure Elite and Chemi-Pure Blue to try out. People had suggested to me to buy Rox Carbon and GFO from BRS because it'd be cheaper in the long run. After I determined both bags of Chemi-Pure weren't helping my phosphate issue I decided to buy some GFO. I'll get the Rox Carbon next. That way I can change them independently. And it will obviously save money in the long run. However, the Chemi-Pure did clear up my water very fast. If you're not battling phosphates like I am I'd imagine either one will work fine for you.
