Make fun of ? Nah, it is called picking on buddies Frank
I am however not to sure size matters and it has more to do with the acid washing process that Rox go's through. Does KZ treat there carbon in the same manner?
Size Frank is a MAJOR key in selecting GAC for any application. And for us the smaller the better.
Do you mean this stuff
Activated Carbon :: Zeovit Media & Misc. :: ZEOvit USA
That is $21.45 / lb and that is a rip-off big time no matter what kind of GAC it is, even if it is ROX or of the Rox family(not including ROX-Extra). There are 5 GAC in the ROX family. ROW 0.8, which was the test GAC for ROX and I still have a container of if from Ron when it first came out 10 years ago, is only sold in Europe and it is not as good as ROX 0.8. If you buy a single 1.25 /lb bag of ROX form BRS it is $15.99 / lb. That is $12.79 / lb vs 21.45 / lb and that is $8.66 / lb MORE !!! I had not clue it was the costly. If anybody is buying that stuff from them they are waisting crap loads of money. I'll bet you anything that KZ is the same stuff Elos is selling and I have a bag of it that Jesse from Elos wanted me to look at. It is a very good Bitum GAC and the Elso stuff is
Carbon M
Elos Marine Carbon Filter Media
ROX = 39.99 for 1 gal = 3.78 L = $10.57 / l = $5.28 / 500ml
Elos = $22.69 for 500ml that is 4 x ROX
It is on sale for $118.99 for 3 liters and that is not even a gallon. ROX / gal is $39.99 for a gal. That Elos stuff is the biggest rip-off I have seen yet. I have never looked at their pricing before on this GAC or the KZ, as both have never come up on any of my 100's of post on GAC IIRC
