What carbon is the best for reactors?

[lanzo]

hey guys, i have tried a few kinds of carbon in my reactor, but i don't really know which brand is the best to use.

Some or maybe all will leak phos into tank?
Is a finer partical size(0.2mm-0.5mm) better than a bigger particle size((1cm)?

What is the best carbon for the cheapest price( because one need to change it every 2-3 weeks, and R200-R400 per month for carbon is a bit steep for me)

Hope this will help everyone
