Carbon for reactors.

[Jim]

What brand carbon is everyone using in their reactors? I've tried a couple. Esv tends to clump for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I used esv and the bulkreef supply the bulk reef is much lighter and tumbles more

I was using the ESV carbon but just ran out. Now I am using the Kent Marine Carbon Pellets. I I will keep you posted on how it works out.

Jim I was using ESV Carbon as well and I was getting the same results, it became a pain every time I had to change it. I just started using BRS ROX8 and at first I was having a hard time justifying spending that kind of money on carbon but a little of this stuff goes a long way. I just changed it yesterday and I have closer to 3/4 left in a 1 gallon container and that's 2 uses which isn't bad for the size of our systems.
