Looking to add Carbon to my Display. Looking for suggestions from someone experienced, wether it's best to use a media bag or reactor. Whichever option is best and what media to purchase. Let me know your thoughts!
750XXL, 200 gal total system.

Either one will likely work but with a tank of your size, a GAC reactor might be best for you. I use BRS ROX 0.8 for my tank. It is very good carbon and keeps the water clear. With a bag, you will need good flow in your sump.

Thanks for the info
 
Bump!

My two cents is that so long as the carbon is well-rinsed, nearly any kind will suffice (since its dust that is the culprit, from what studies have shown)
