Could you skip the whole charcoal making step and just buy charcoal without fluid on it and do the acid wash yourself?

I've got a scrubber it's just the cost of filling it with carbon is unreal and I have room and time to make it myself not to mention I'm looking for about 20 lbs... Off topic I saw u have the I power digital ballast on your sig do you have it? I'm about to buy one my self how do you like it?

Yup I have it and it works great. It was the cheapest one about I could find and it seems reliable, comes with both MH/HPS bulbs also. Reflector is basic but does the job, the ropes are no longer the badly reviewed ones and are instead a ratchet type, they work great. I have no issues with the unit at all.

Hey dude,

I just took the plunge and bought some activated carbon on ebay.
The carbon i'm using is just too small and restricts airflow too much

I got it off a ebay store called....... ChemicalConnection
they sell in different sizes and they do have 20lb sizes.
carries air phase and liquid phase

the size was 4 or 5 mm pellets i think

I think the 20lb was like 65-70 dollars and then there shipping which was like 30-40 dollars I think. But im in canada, so if you in the US then it prolly be cheaper for you.
