 No! No! No!Aug 25, 2007
By Professor Bubba
Don't buy. If you have already ordered, cancel the order.
This Carbon Insert is the reason why the excellent Zoo Med filter is selling on clearance.
Basically, this insert is a bag of carbon which has been machined into smooth pellets. The smooth surfaces fail to allow for the absorption of organics, and it left my tank with a high ammonia content for weeks. It doesn't work.
Go to the pet store, buy a nylon bag and over-the-counter activated carbon chips. The chips have rough porous surfaces which increase the absorption rate. This makes the Zoo Med filter run exceedingly well; transparent water and ammonia at zero.

Instead of using this, just buy Hagen Fluval Carbon 300G off Amazon and drop one in. You get three bags for the same price and its MUCH higher quality.

By Seandan Ng
Im currently using the 501 filter and had to get rid of this carbon bag... First its very hard to fit in, 2nd it restrict the amount of turtle waste it sucks in. I had to modify the bag to make it efficient.

Buy The Hagen Fluval Carbon 300G (replacement) BagsMar 30, 2011
By Jersey Chuck
My 501 filter wasn't doing a good job with the Zoo Med Carbon Bag until I bought the Hagen Fluval Carbon 300G bags.
BTW you get 3 bags of the Fluval compared to one from Zoo Med for the same (give or take a few cents) price!
