The smaller fragments pack tighter leaving fewer gaps compared to larger aquarium carbon pieces. These smaller size aquarium carbon media require our Fine Mesh Filter Media Drawstring Bags. During shipment, our activated charcoal aquarium pieces rub against each other and may produce dust. A short rinse under tap or RO water will rinse away this dust. Review: Activated carbon-sturdy container-not messy. - Well packaged, quick delivery. Packaging had no leakage of carbon at all. Very sturdy and full container. Review: Good product, good price - I order this item for the second time. Good quality and enough for a long time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07577HN4N | | Brand | Aquatic Experts | | Brand Name | Aquatic Experts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 414 Reviews | | Item Weight | 2.54 kg | | Liquid Volume | 5.5 Litres | | Manufacturer | Aquatic Experts | | Manufacturer Part Number | 759614668624 | | Model Number | 759614668624 | | Pet Type | Fish | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aquatic Experts - **Item Weight:** 2.54 kg - **Liquid Volume:** 5.5 Litres - **Manufacturer:** Aquatic Experts - **Pet Type:** Fish ## Images ![Premium Activated Carbon Aquarium Filter Charcoal Media - 5. 5 lbs Bulk - Remove Odors and Discoloration with Bituminous Coal by - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Hie--kkFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this contain phosphates?** A: Great question. All activated carbons contain phosphates no matter what they claim. This is due to the trapped ash deep within the carbon's pores. We use a phosphate free cleaning solution to deep clean the macro and micro pores or our activated carbon. This process removes a tremendous amount of additional trapped ash. The nature of activated carbon with it deep pores makes impossibly at this time to remove all the ash. Our premium activated carbon which the final steps are truly processed in a lab has one of the lowest leaching phosphate levels on the market. Thanks for asking - Laurren at Aquatic Experts **Q: Can I use the activated carbon to remove toxic gas indoor, like formaldehyde? Besides, where the item from?** A: This is for aquariums **Q: When using in dry situations, can these pellets be “recharged”/dried out again by placing in the sun?** A: 30 years in the carbon/filtration business. NO. That reactivation in sunlight is pure BS. There is a tiny bit of fact in exposing carbon to UV to destroy adsorbed organics but it has nothing to do with consumer carbon use. You'll spend more money trying to heat up used carbon than it costs to replace it. No, the oven at home is not hot enough to volatilize the trapped organics. This is all really old aquarium lore...pre-internet actually. **Q: Can i use this in a reactor instead of a mesh bag on my saltwater tank.** A: Our Premium Carbon works perfectly in a reactor.

Packaging had no leakage of carbon at all. Very sturdy and full container. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, good price *by J***R on 21 January 2024* I order this item for the second time. Good quality and enough for a long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than terta *by K***N on 10 December 2019* This product lasts long and works just as well or even better than normal tetra. The tetra bags always clog up on me and this bag rarely does. Would reccomend if you don't want to spend more money on tetra filters as it (I think it was only the larger size, don't remember) came with a bag. Its been 3 months and I haven't had to refill the bag. All I need to do is rub it down with a toothbrush from time to time and it's fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - Premium Activated Carbon, Aquarium Carbon for Fish Tank Filter, Aquarium Filter Media, Granulated Charcoal for Fish Tanks, Activated Charcoal Bulk (5.5 lbs with Fine Mesh Bag) - Marineland White Diamond 50 Ounces, Removes Toxic Ammonia, Aquarium Filter Media - DEPEPE 10pcs 7.8 x 5.9 Inch Aquarium Filter Media Bags with Zipper for Activated Carbon, Biospheres, Ceramic Rings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/711484923-premium-activated-carbon-aquarium-filter-charcoal-media-5-5-lbs](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/711484923-premium-activated-carbon-aquarium-filter-charcoal-media-5-5-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
