white carbon

Has any one used white carbon. I saw a ad for it they said there is no washing . I just wanted to see if it is worth getting.

Not sure if your talking about "Hyper Sorb" by Seachem or something else. I have used this product and it worked great. It is synthetic and is supposed to be 500% or something like that, better than regular carbon.

I am interested in this.. any links?

what product are you looking at?

Actually, now that I am looking at some of these products.. in a sense SeaChem claims that HyperSorb is better than carbon, but that Purigen is up to 500 percent.

For the people who have used Carbon (Please write which kind you've used) and either HyperSorb or Purigen or both... what you found was better and why? I would love to hear everyone's comments. I currently use Marineland Black Diamond in a Phosban Reactor and I love it. My water is clear and the quality is awesome (0 NH4 - NH3 - NH2). My tank being a soft coral dominated tank seem to be happy with eachother and I believe the carbon/phosban reactor combo is catching most of the toxins before they affect the neighboring corals.

I will ask in the SeaChem thread/forum what the differences of Carbon/Purigen/HyperSorb is though I am betting it has been asked.

Here is a link to the ad that is in the Mag. Sounds to me like they are just another form of Bio-Balls.
