bulk carbon?

[svtim]

Has anyone tried this carbon that i found on e bay. ill try to post a link it sounds too good to be true i wonder if its not sealed if it would go bad.http://cgi.ebay.com/27-Lbs-5Gal-Pre...95658276QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180295658276&

ok so i guess ill try it and let everyone know

Hmmmm........ seems like a good deal

 

[svtim]

yea it does. seem like everyone with large tanks would want a 5 gal bucket especially guys with multiple tanks. i am a little weary about the quality but i don't know anything about aquarium grade carbon.

if i still kept carbon in my filters i would definitely go for it..

I imagine food grade would be the same...60.00 for 5 gallons hmmmmm good deal if you use carbon...

 

[svtim]

it would only be 45 bucks with shipping and some comes with free shipping. Not to change topics but i have always used carbon is there a better way or cheaper please enlighten me. this is my first monster tank other than several 55 gal tanks

You'll find most people just omit carbon...problem with carbon is that it will leech back into the water, the gunk it can remove once it gets saturated...

Carbon is really unnecessary, save your money..
