Q: how often does this have to be changed?

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?

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

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??

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

Great addition for filter

Helps keep my water perimeters perfect and balanced. Rinse very well before putting in your filter, until the rinse water runs clear

Super inexpensive

It's always good to have Carbon on hand when you have fish tanks and the low price of these allowed me to stock up and have plenty of extra. I added mine to my Fluval 13.5 EVO, i have the In-tank Chamber 1 add on and it fits snugly in the bottom part, but my water has never been so clear. This also fits in my Fluval C-4 HOB filter, It's almost a direct match for the replacement. Also rinsed super clear, i run Carbon in a reactor and that stuff is a mess to rinse, the Fluval packets hardly had any mess.
