Zorb Carbon?
Does anyone use Zorb carbon pillows? If so, do you think they work well?

I'm not sure how the resin part will work, but the carbon portion will be useful. I just run plain activated carbon, personally, either Black Diamond or SeaChem Matrix.

Sounds like the ZEOvit carbon stuff, since it has resin with it.

I just use GAC pellets that I receieved from a group buy. Next purchase will be ROX .8 from TwoPartSolutions.com

OK. Looks like there may not be a big use of this out there. I think I may give the Seachem Matrix a shot. How long does it last? I know this is dependent on tank load and such, but would you change it monthly?
