## Questions & Answers

**Q: how often does this have to be changed?**
A: I use it for my aquatic turtle (red eared slider) in an FX5 canister filter as the first stage filtration.  I change it approx. every 2-3 months.  Keep in mind I have 4 of them in there at one time in stage 1.  For fish tanks, I am not sure.

**Q: Why does it say  " ; Use carefully when keeping live plants" in the last sentence above where  the benefits are listed at the top?**
A: Carbon can absorb the plant food & leave plants malnourished   Your live plants should do a good job of filtering your water. It's up to you , use carbon  or substitute other filter media in your filter system. There is pro & con .

**Q: Are the particles large enough to take out of the bag? i have a small tom filter and they no longer make the cartidges, so i just need a small amount**
A: Hi:  This is a subjective question.  They come in a mesh bag, something similar to the screen in a coffee pot.  Not the filter, the screen.  I would describe them as about 1/2 the size of an okra seed.  It is ground to a consistent size, definitely not a powder or the size of a flake of black pepper.  Not that small.  About the size of a small pebble of sand, much smaller I would call a grain of sand.  I hope this helps.

**Q: I have a fluval 406 canister filter any want who recomended me this product to keep the water clean?? Or any good product for a turtle tank??**
A: Fluvals are the best. I use it plus a over the top fluval to keep the top of the water clean. They're expensive but cannot imagine a better product for turtles. Also for the canister I use carbon, zeolite and also zeolite pellets
