Activated carbon brands and their performance

[turtlefish]

Im wondering what kind of activated carbon peple use? It helps out alot in my tank and I use it on a regular basis. Right now Im using marineland black diamond and my complaints are its way too dusty. Im interested in the Hydro Carbon 2 and the Kent reef carbon. THe matrix carbon seems good too. What brands do you think are best?
Thanks

I agree that the Black Diamond is dusty but I have also heard and read that it is one of the best. It works well for me and it does not take that much effort to rinse it.
