Watch this video and you will never use anything besides ROX again.

ROX is great. But beware since its soo small it can get everywhere.

Put a fine mesh media bag on the end of the output line of the reactor, it will catch anything that makes it out of the reactor and stop it from getting into your tank.

I like that idea.

Not nearly as well though. What happens when the filter sock gets full and starts overflowing? All the carbon that made it into the sock will make it into your sump.
 
True. But I clean my filter sock before it overflows plus unless you have your carbon tumbling you shouldnt have a lot of particle escaping. Shouldn't doesn't mean they want. I could be wrong. I don't have that problem.
 
He uses it, and gets it everywhere...:xd:


Hahahahahahaaaa :XD:
