Review: Much cheaper than prepackaged - After years of using prepackaged charcoal bags for my aquarium I decided to try bulk charcoal and mesh bags to package my own. Works great and is much cheaper. Wish I had done this sooner.
Review: a MUST for any aquarium - I stopped using carbon for a while had issues with algea and nitrates. I put this in and BAM tank cleared up and algea seemed to get under control. Great stuff. A must for any aquarium

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how fine is the charcoal? can I make facial mask with it? Will I see all particles of carbon?**
A: Not very fine, like little rice sized chunks. I grind mine into a powder using a mortar and pestle which gets a little dusty. Its an inexpensive way to purchase this so a little extra prep was fine with me. This would make one scatter and messy face mask. I use it to brush my teeth and make mascara.

**Q: does this contain phosphates?**
A: Thank you for your question, Jimmy!  No, it does not contain phosphates at all.

**Q: How often would it need to be replaced in a cannister filter?**
A: I clean my tank weekly, but replace the carbon once a month, keeps tank clear

**Q: How much do i use for 10 gal tank?**
A: You should have a reservoir that you can enter this into and then proceed to  filter your water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much cheaper than prepackaged
*by M***T on February 28, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a MUST for any aquarium
*by S***E on February 3, 2026*

I stopped using carbon for a while had issues with algea and nitrates. I put this in and BAM tank cleared up and algea seemed to get under control. Great stuff. A must for any aquarium

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for me
*by S***R on February 5, 2026*

Decent amount of carbon for the price, way cheaper than filter pre-built bags with sprinkles of carbon in them. Very easy to use just dumping into a mesh bag fitting whatever needs you have and functioning the way you need it to be. Isn't dirty and just needs a simple rinse to get activated and wash off some dust
