Review: GREAT quality, we're very pleased with this carbon. - We work hard for the money and are happy with this move getting this carbon. The container was larger than I anticipated (22oz here). Outstanding activated carbon at a great price. I've been a fish tank caretaker for over 30 years and imho it rinses clean fairly quickly, and yes indeed you hear that rice krispies snap cackle pop sizzle coming from the carbon right after rinsing it which is a great sign of great quality. I am first using this for cat fountains with mesh zipper bags not filter material and it does not slip through the 1-layer mesh, so rocks are small but large enough it should not be an issue with say, whisper bio bags.
Review: Great for my fish tank - Work great in my fish sump tank

## 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.
