Whats the difference between aqua tech and marineland carbon?

[tcarswell]

I bought aqua tech carbon for 5 bucks at wall mart. Then I see marineland carbon for sale at pet smart in the exact same jar but with a different label.It obviously being carbon looks similar. but the marineland stuff was 11 dollars for the same amount?!

Any difference ? I thought marineland owned aqua tech industries.

I think there the same.

one of them says "marineland" on the lable... far as i know carbon is carbon..

they probably buy from the same manufacturer. Carbon is Carbon. There can be different grades, but all the stuff used in the aquarium trade is below-food grade

Weak.... I bought the other stuff too lol. Live and learn. I am stocking up next wall mart visit.

I did notice a big difference when I used the rena bio zorb stuff though. Guess it could have just been my imagination.

All I know is it made the water look like it was cleaner than when I put it in there in less than an hour. Wonder what it might be mixed with.
