## Overview

Fluval Carbon Nylon Bags (3 x 100g) deliver premium, research-grade activated carbon designed to remove heavy metals, odors, and discolorations from both fresh and saltwater aquariums.

Ideal for professional aquarists seeking reliable, easy-to-use filtration with proven performance.

## Description

Premium, research-grade, low-ash Fluval Carbon is highly porous, providing large amounts of surface area for absorption of impurities present in aquarium water. The inner matrix structure provides a large porous area that permanently traps organic waste while removing liquid wastes such as urine, dyes or many other impurities from the water. The activated carbon effectively removes heavy metals, odors, discolorations, organic contaminants and pollutants to leave your aquarium water crystal clear and sparkling. It does not contain phosphates and will not change the pH of the aquarium water. Fluval Carbon is pure activated carbon that is ideal in both fresh and salt water.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

Review: Genuine product - Does the job
Review: Nice - I never used carbon in my aquarium. I decided to try this item from Fluval, and it actually work. The water became crystal clear more than anytime before in just a week time. The only problem I see, is that you have to replace the carbon bag each month, which is quite expensive. A Purigen bag will be an alternative, as it can last up to 6 month.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how often does this have to be changed?**
A: I use it for my aquatic turtle (red eared slider) in an FX5 canister filter as the first stage filtration.  I change it approx. every 2-3 months.  Keep in mind I have 4 of them in there at one time in stage 1.  For fish tanks, I am not sure.

**Q: Why does it say  " ; Use carefully when keeping live plants" in the last sentence above where  the benefits are listed at the top?**
A: Carbon can absorb the plant food & leave plants malnourished   Your live plants should do a good job of filtering your water. It's up to you , use carbon  or substitute other filter media in your filter system. There is pro & con .

**Q: Are the particles large enough to take out of the bag? i have a small tom filter and they no longer make the cartidges, so i just need a small amount**
A: Hi:  This is a subjective question.  They come in a mesh bag, something similar to the screen in a coffee pot.  Not the filter, the screen.  I would describe them as about 1/2 the size of an okra seed.  It is ground to a consistent size, definitely not a powder or the size of a flake of black pepper.  Not that small.  About the size of a small pebble of sand, much smaller I would call a grain of sand.  I hope this helps.

**Q: I have a fluval 406 canister filter any want who recomended me this product to keep the water clean?? Or any good product for a turtle tank??**
A: Fluvals are the best. I use it plus a over the top fluval to keep the top of the water clean. They're expensive but cannot imagine a better product for turtles. Also for the canister I use carbon, zeolite and also zeolite pellets
