Review: So much more economical than buying in-store at Petco or Pet Smart. - The total price for these two packages, is less than the price of one smaller package at most retail pet stores. Great deal for people with larger (55gal+) fish tanks.
Review: Great carbon at a great price - This is a super carbon filter media for aquarium filters. The pellets are about 1/8 inch in diameter and vary from 1/4 to 1 inch in length. The pellets are hard and resist breaking down into dust the way others I have tried did. This is the least expensive carbon I've found for my filters, and at the same time the best I've found. That is a deal that cannot be beat. I use it for a biological filtration media rather than as a chemical absorbent media. I've found that it works better than bio balls or the ceramic rings, and costs less than most of the ceramic rings. The beneficial bacteria get some of the nutrients they need from the carbon, which allows them to grow faster and consume more of the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates from the water. Some people warn that old carbon media will leach chemicals into your tank's water unless it is regularly replaced. This is not exactly the case. Once it has been used for some time, the carbon will no longer absorb chemicals from the water, but it will not increase the amount of those chemicals in the water. If you are using it to absorb unwanted chemicals from a tank's water, then you will need to periodically replace the carbon. How long it lasts between changes will vary depending upon how "dirty" the tank's water is and how "clean" you need to keep it. Most freshwater fish are more adaptive to varying conditions, while saltwater tanks require conditions be near perfect. When replacing carbon filter media, the old carbon is great to add to the soil of your houseplants.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value, Great Quality and works well!
*by T***K on April 19, 2016*

Using this in combination with Seachem Purigen 250ml In my turtle tank filter. This carbon is not as dusty as most I have used and only requires minor amount of rinsing before it is ready to use. It comes as sticks but as another reviewer noted it seems to work even better when it is a little broken up. I just crush it up a little before adding it into a nylon bag. Purigen is a good replacement for carbon but I have been using both together because I used this carbon long before I started using purigen and I was very happy with how well this worked on its own. Combined with purigen, in separate bags and in separate layers in the filter my water is crystal clear. At this price there is no reason for me not to use both.
