Also in a reactor or bag

 

[back to it]

Marineland Black Diamond, It's always available, nearly dust free..and it lasts. I use it passively in a bag.

reactor will always be better than a bag.
there has been a study comparing the different brands, i'm sure someone can post the link for you.

i used to use kent reef carbon. then i got brs carbon and my tank hated it. going to switch back to what works best

esv in bag.

Esv size is small enough, light on dust, effective

Bag b/c reactors are a pain(atleast the 1 that I had for my 120, 2lilfish reactor), and the bag did work enough to eliminate smell.

I use Chemi-Pure. Remain active up to 6 months according to manufacturer.

I change mine every month though.

I like the seachem carbon; it's spherical for max flow through the media and has a very low amount of leachable phosphate. And almost no dust.
