Encompass All 2 Pack: Premium Laboratory Grade Super Activated Carbon - 48oz Total with Free Media Bag - AM Brand Review

Yes, that's 2 packs! Yes, it's a great price! Yes, the free media pocket is a little tight, but it's free! Very happy with the purchase. Now I take care of the water filter for survival ;-)

Cleans the air perfectly, I don't know about water. This can be used in Spoofy (totally eliminated smoke smell) which is what I use it for and I also make my own air filters by putting them in a flat pouch.

Unbelievable. I really enjoy using this charcoal and have used it in my freshwater and reef applications. Unbeatable for price and quantity alone.
