Carbon Brand

Hi, any thoughts on which carbon to use? The tank is a 20gl, reef, I was planning to only use it for a day at a time every couple of weeks.
Thanks, jscot111

It doesn't really matter as long as it's a decent brand.

I have used SeaChem, Aqua clear(Hagen) and HBH.

I use black diamond as well. Make sure whatever you use is acid washed. If it isn't it will likely leech phosphate and can cause pH problems.
