Media

I have a 50 gallon AIO and have the custom caddy for my carbon and GFO but I’m getting tired of ordering the new ones every month because it gets expensive. Does anyone know good reusable mesh bags. How do I also measure out the media.

Some people don't even use carbon in their marine tanks but when I had one of these AIO setups I just ordered the 3pk of the AquaClear carbon bags. It's already bagged and you can get them in various sizes to fit what you have. Their skinner bag is helpful for the skinny back or caddy compartments. Otherwise, you can find fine mesh bags and get bulk carbon cheaper but not all carbon is quality. I've tried also the Chemi-pure carbons too which also come bagged but they are a bit bulkier/harder to fit in a caddy.

Ok thank you very much

I use this carbon https://a.co/d/3ojvygS in media bags off Amazon: https://a.co/d/40tez9q

If you don’t overfill the bag, it fits great in an AIO back caddy.
