Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions


how big is the filter

Answer by Chewy • Dec 21, 2018
These filters measure 6 inches long x 5/8 inch wide x 6.5 inches tall.

How often should the carbon filter media be replaced?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 17, 2021
It is recommended to change the carbon the filter bi-weekly. It's better (and easier) to prevent odors versus having to remove them once they've accumulated. Some fish are messy eaters, or are more prone to producing large amounts of waste, so prevention is key.

What gallon size tank are these bags for?

Answer by Chewy • Feb 24, 2020
This filter media is intended to be used in the Fluval C4 Power Filter, which is designed for aquariums between 40 and 70 gallons.

Takes care of odor

Had one of my 30 gallon aquarium had a smell to it, put in a fresh activated carbon and within a few days it was gone.

Best design

I love this carbon pack! It is SO easy to change the media out with the basket design. I no longer have to take the entire filter apart to change 1 item. This

I love this carbon pack! It is SO easy to change the media out with the basket design. I no longer have to take the entire filter apart to change 1 item. This still needs to be rinsed well as alot of black carbon dust is still present.

Great Deal!

Fluval is a great brand, and this is the best price I've seen anywhere for these refills. Got them to freshen up the Fluval canister filter I use on my 46-g turtle
