AquaClear 20 Activated Carbon Inserts, Aquarium Filter Replacement Media, 3-Pack, A1380

Great carbon insert

If you know how to use this product correctly, it’s a great product! If you understand the complexities of fish keeping then you’ll know this product is good for the price. I would recommend. I got it for my Fluval 306, 75 gallon aquarium. The ammonia in my tank got .5 ppm a little too high, compared to 0ppm, so I added this product to help bring the ammonia down. I haven’t had any water quality issues since !

Nice. Using it with AZOO Mignion Filter 60, but i had to take some carbon out of the bag to fit it in the filter.

This really does the job and more. TY

Although the Aqua Clear 20 is made in Italy, the replacement carbon is made in China. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was a strange smell. At first I did not know where it was coming from, then I realized that what I just opened up definitely smelled like raw chicken. Even after rinsing repeatedly with salt water it still had this strange odor. I was worried about using this in my aquarium; I eventually washed it twice with mild soap and water (I wonder what this will do to the carbon), then I rinsed it with salt water and it finally smelled OK to me. What the hell are they doing at the plant where this carbon is made? I think in the future I may make my own filters using these mesh bags that are sold separately at some pet stores. (you can buy activated carbon you can buy in bulk).

Easy

Fits my new tanks and filters perfectly.

Weve had our Fluval Edge 6 Gallon system for over a year now. When It was time to replace the Filter Media, our local pet store no longer carried the Edge line replacements. Knowing Fluval and AquaClear are owned by the same parent company, I found out the Edge filter was a re-branded copy of the AquaClear 20 filter. I confirmed this info by checking out a few aquarium hobbyist blogs. I ordered each of the replacement filter medias (sponge, carbon & biomax) and can confirm they are an exact match for the Fluval Edge stock filter basket. Pricing was better on Amazon than other online aquarium suppliers I checked. I had no local retail store to compare prices with either so Amazon deservedly received my business.

My pet store where I normally buy closed. Not everyone carries this item. So, finding it online was great. I didnt need a 3-pack since I change the carbon filter only once per year.

thanks
