High Quality, Good Value.
This carbon is high quality and keeps your aquarium clear and clean smelling. I use it in a freshwater aquarium and itās down to personal choice really. It wonāt solve problems such as algae growth but definitely gives the water a nice polish.As every other review says; it only comes with one bag but if you're using the fluval 30X or 40X filters you can just put the bag over the partition and spread it over both if you plan on using a lot. Keep in mind that you do not need as much as you think; I put in almost a half and it barely fit into the baskets of my 306 filter and I had already rinsed it thoroughly so couldn't take any out.It comes with about 5 small zip ties to close the bag but if you expect to be using less than a fifth of it each time you can easily tie the large bag it comes with in a knot.It works out much cheaper than the individual bags so I cannot complain!!If you want a media bag with a zip and a mesh thatās fine enough to keep this stuff in I recommend Seachemās small zip bag - itāll take some of the faff out of replacing the carbon.

Tried and trusted
Great product, the 900g option comes with a single mesh bag and clip. The bag is big enough to hold the entire contents of the 900g bottle should you so wish. I have no doubt the clip does its job but the bag is long enough to accommodate a knot and leave plenty of room for water to circulateFor ponds, I just pour half the carbon into the bag and seal it. Run a hose over the bag for a few seconds until the black dust stops coming out. Scoop a bucket of pond water and plunge the bag in and out a few times to remove the chlorinated water. Drop it in your pond close to wherever the dirty water circulates, not where the clean water come in. Just leave it there or occasionally *gently* move the carbon around a little to get it all exposed to the water. The particles that make the water dirty seem attracted to the carbon and stick to it in huge quantities. When the effect slows down, chuck the carbon and use the other half to keep the water clear. This is a good quality activated carbon, you don't end up with black water

Very Small Granules
This 800g tub of activated charcoal is more expensive than my usual brand, however i decided to give it a go. The granules are tiny, much smaller than my previous go to brand. However it appears to work well and does the job of keeping the water free from nasties along with removing the yellowing that my tank sometimes suffers with. Included in the jar is a large net bag.

Bag, not bag(s)
The product itself is fine. I expected a few mesh bags with pull ties but received one giant mesh bag. Bigger than my entire external filter. Had to buy mesh bags separately, more waiting time. Incorrectly advertised here as bagS.
