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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased with the carbon. *by E***D on August 9, 2026* I got a great deal on activated carbon. Better than some other brands. I have two turtles and they are messy, carbon is working very well in the filter. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by D***N on September 9, 2026* Exactly what it's supposed to be and cheaper than pets mart. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably excellent for aquariums, good not great for off-label odor-removal uses *by M***N on May 25, 2026* Bought this so I could de-perfume a secondhand dresser I bought. I think it did a fair job, although I did set the drawers out in the sun so that did a lot of the work. One drawer has been resistant. However, I also had a plastic spray bottle that I'd previously put mint oil in when spraying to deter insects (mint oil spray: moderately effective) and had been unable to get the mint smell out of. I filled it with a third of a cup (sprayer holds about 2 cups) of charcoal and seems to be very effective. So, I think you would need a lot to de-stink a drawer, but this does work like the fancy charcoal being sold. Someone had mentioned that you should buy the charcoal powder. However, it *is* charcoal so black dust will get everywhere, be careful. Finally, I am using this off label so I don't want to give it fewer stars for that reason. I am sure it is good for aquariums. ## Frequently Bought Together - Marineland Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon 22 Ounces, Filter Media For Aquariums - Marineland White Diamond 50 Ounces, Removes Toxic Ammonia, Aquarium Filter Media - DEPEPE 10pcs 7.8 x 5.9 Inch Aquarium Filter Media Bags with Zipper for Activated Carbon, Biospheres, Ceramic Rings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/14478394-marineland-black-diamond-carbon-filter-media-for-aquariums-22-oz](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/14478394-marineland-black-diamond-carbon-filter-media-for-aquariums-22-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
