Carbon that's not that's dusty?

Scizzle · 06/13/2012, 09:07 PM

Is there a carbon that doesn't take 20 minutes to rinse. Haha I use API which I'm sure is probably cheap and crappy. Changing out my reactor is hell. I rinse the carbon for 15-20 it never runs perfectly clear And then I rinse rowa quickly and put both in my reactor.

What carbon do you use?
Carbon with a smaller amount of dust?

ROX carbon from BRS is very clean. I used to heavily rinse Marineland Black Diamond, but the ROX hardly needs any.
