Absorbs ammonia from aquaticturtle, amphibian or aquarium fish waste. Improves water clarity andodor. Customer Reviews: No! No! No!   August 25, 2007  2 out of 2 found this review helpful Don't buy. If you have already ordered, cancel the order. This Carbon Insert is the reason why the excellent Zoo Med filter is selling on clearance. Basically, this insert is a bag of carbon which has been machined into smooth pellets. The smooth surfaces fail to allow for the absorption of organics, and it left my tank with a high ammonia content for weeks. It doesn't work. Go to the pet store, buy a nylon bag and over-the-counter activated carbon chips. The chips have rough porous surfaces which increase the absorption rate. This makes the Zoo Med filter run exceedingly well; transparent water and ammonia at zero.
