Which carbon brand do you use in your sps tanks?

Was uesing BRS large lignite, made the switch to the ROX 0.8. I must say I realy like the ROX much better, it is a little harder to use in my reactor as the size of it is much smaller in size. If you have the extra $ give the ROX a try.

I am thinking about running the BRS Rox in my system. How much carbon do you use in your system, and how often do you change it. TIA.

I used chemi-pure elite.....

For most of you, do you guys just put the carbon in a filter bag or in the reactor? I don't have the money for the reactor now, so i am wondering will i get the full benefit by using carbon in a filter bag.

KZ in a filter bag, kneaded daily...

I have a pvc tube with end caps that the carbon and phosban is placed in. The media is in a standard media bag with polyester backing material as a pre and post filter of this media bag. One cap has mulitple holes drilled for the exit and the other has a threaded coupler glued to it. A John Guest fitting is threaded into the threaded coupler and placed on a MJ900. This system is easily constructed for less than $5 and has served it's purpose well for several years. The only problem is the lack of heavy flow results in some detritus build-up in the pvc chamber.

I use the ROX also. Some of my corals actually improved color after I started running it. I guess from making the water that much more clear they got more light. But I am not really sure of the reason why.

I would have to say I seen the same results. It hasn't been a drastic change, but sertainly can notice a difference.
I am running mine thru 2 TLF phosban reactors daisy chained together,1 GFO, and 1 carbon

BRS ROX for me it polishes my water crystal clear. I run it in a BRS dual chamber reactor powered by a MJ1200 3/4 cups works fine for my 75 gallon set up.:wavehand:

BRS ROX 0.8 for me. I 3/4 cups in the BRS dual chamber reactor powered by a MJ 1200, with the first chamber being filled with phos remover.

TBPC carbon.
