Carbon Filter ?'s

[cichlid1409]

So i need to get a carbon filter going before i move to corpus and had a couple questions. I have 2 reactors i plan on using to house the carbon.

What type pellet or granulated carbon?
Any particular brand?
Where can i get it cheap?

I got a box about 25lbs for $40.00 from 5 star filter at 610 & TC Jester. I really like this pelletized stuff. I'm sure you can get it cheaper on line but shipping could be alot.

I think it was pellets.....40-45 bucks sounds about right.

haven't really seen it anywhere cheaper.
