I was just curious if anyone has tried both rox (i am looking at the brs rox) carbon and red sea carbon. The details seem to show rox as slightly better than the red sea carbon but the red sea carbon is cheaper for me. Has anyone personally seen a difference between the two?

rox is the ideal size and is always the best carbon from my research

this old brs video explains it well:


My guess is the red sea is just one of the cheaper generic carbons available on BRS

I’ve used both and they are both great. Red Sea Carbon is very clean just like ROX is. Unless there’s a sale on the ROX I usually just buy the Red Sea. I also like that it comes with a drawstring bag in the container.

I started using Reef Spec a while back instead of ROX, don’t remember why though. Haven’t noticed any difference. I should mention I get an ICP test done at least once a quarter also.
