Active Carbon for Aquariums

[CaliTruf]

Hi Farmers:rauch08:

I'm trying to refill with new active carbon the filter i have used. Opening it i've founded the pellet and the reserch started....:anim_44:
Ifounded many types of pellet some activated with fisical procedures and others with chemical ones; some to clean air from "nox" or from "mercury" etc and finally i founded the ones for "odours"; some suitable for aquatic application and someother for aerial.
But at a certain point came out also the pellet for aquariums' filters:icon_dizzy:.

So the questions:
-What's the difference between the aquatic carbon and the aerial one? (if there is one)
-Can i use the active carbon for the aquariums?
-What's the best diameter for the pellet 3 or 4 millimeters?

Thx donedolla but i'm not so lucky or from another point of view i'm very lucky because i'm living in Europe in a place without walmart or some big store full of everything....so i have to find every part of my growroom in a different shop and this time i've found those active carbon from a aquarium store.
Now i'll try to use it and if it works i'll share a report...

I've had this question for a while, and figured that would, thanks for confirming that.
