slappers Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 OK anyone uses this or tried it i think its abit more expensive at $32 no arguments please lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazymranch Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have used it with no problems. Then again, I probably wouldn't know if it was the carbon causing a problem. Bottom line is that my water is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PENEJANE Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I can get 250g of Activated Carbon for $4.95. I don't know if its a good price or bad price but if its good and you want some let me know and we can sort something out Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 That's exactly the brand I'm using right now. Was $15.80 for the 200G one...That looks like it's 400g? I can't quite read the label. Seems to be fine. Nothing's died, I've got it running in my cool fluidized media reactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 its the 14oz(397g) im using it in a fluidized reactor too i think thats what it is lol a clear tube with a bottom and a lid with a pipe running through the middle and a inlet outlet :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 yip its a fluidised reactor, i used the cheap stuff that penajane was talking about and my corals did not like it at all. the price on the jansons stuff is great its just a matter remembering to buy it when your up there, next time im going up i'll let you know so i can get everyone from ham some. what about your NIWA carbon? that should be failry good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 that was the stuff they were mucking around with got three cartons of it just that i saw it in the shops today so i wondered what the feed back was like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENEJANE Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 so would the cheap stuff that I got be ok in a cold water marine setup? Or if I can manage with out it then it would be better? I haven't seen that sort of activated carbon at our LFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
