Can anyone recommend a carbon for use in reef aquariums? Looking for a non-aquarium branded carbon.....something from like calgon, jacobi or norit that works well and can be bought in 50 lb or so bags. There are so many choices out there it's hard to figure out what to use. From what I read, something washed (not acid washed) and low/no phosphate seems to be criteria, not sure what else. Not looking to pay $10-15 a lb either.

Check out bulkreefsupply, there you can get a gallon (about three pounds) of large sized lignite carbon for $15.00.
