Be sure to wash the fines and drop the bag into an area where the water has to circulate through the carbon. ## Features - Includes 3 lbs of premium granulated activated carbon, which comes with one complimentary fine mesh bag for immediate use, plus an additional 4 pack of reusable 3" x 8" fine mesh filter bags—giving you everything needed to load carbon into canister filters, HOB filters, sumps, and pond skimmers. - Deep Cleaned Carbon for Maximum Performance: Our activated carbon is thoroughly washed after heat activation to remove excess ash and fines, opening up internal pores for superior adsorption. This ensures cleaner water, easier rinsing, and longer lasting performance compared to typical bulk carbon. - Helps Reduce Odors and Discoloration: High surface area granules effectively capture dissolved organics that contribute to yellow tint, cloudiness, and unpleasant smells in freshwater and saltwater aquariums as well as ponds. - Low Dust Formula for Easy Rinsing: Unlike many carbons that leave your hands, sink, and filter covered in black dust, our carbon is pre cleaned to minimize mess and speed up setup. Less dust means faster water clarity and less filter maintenance. - Multiple Fine Mesh Bags for Flexible Use: The included single bag plus the separate 4 pack keep carbon securely contained while allowing excellent water flow. Perfect for rotating carbon changes, running multiple filter chambers, or using carbon in both aquariums and ponds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BNR17TRH | | ASIN | B0BNR17TRH | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,162 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #44 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand Name | Aquatic Experts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,498) | | Date First Available | August 29, 2017 | | Included Components | 3 lb container of activated carbon with one fine mesh bag; one 4 pack of 3" x 8" fine mesh filter bags | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Item model number | AE-CARB3-BAG4 | | Manufacturer | Aquatic Experts | | Manufacturer | Aquatic Experts | | Model Number | AE-CARB3-BAG4 | | Package Dimensions | 9.37 x 6.97 x 4.88 inches; 3 Pounds | | Target Species | Fish | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aquatic Experts - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Aquatic Experts ## Images ![Premium Activated Carbon for Aquariums – 3 lbs Bulk Granulated Charcoal + Four 3" x 8" Fine Mesh Filter Bags, Aquarium Carbon Filter Media for Crystal Clear Fish Tanks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aw4MO33iL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Say Goodbye to Cloudy Water with the Aquarium Carbon Pad *by P***O on February 7, 2024* I recently purchased the Aquarium Carbon Pad for my fish tank, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with the results.
