How to use black diamond carbon with my fish tank?

I just a black diamond carbon jar and i don't know how to use it if u do please tell me. Also please put as much detail as possibles because its easier to understand|||Take the floss cartridge from your filter, remove the old carbon (there should be some in there already; if not, just fill it up), fill the cartridge half way with the new carbon. Take the cartridge and rinse it under running water until the water is clear, not black/gray. At this point, just add the cartridge back into the filter.





If you don't have specific filter cartridges (which look something like the link I attached*), just rinse the carbon under running water and put it in the filter BEHIND the media (so the flow pushes the carbon against whatever filter floss/foam you use). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Black Diamond works great to get rid of smell and clears the water. the first thing is to get a filter bag (sold in any pet store) or you could use pantie hose by cutting the foot off and adding the carbon and tying it in a not. Rinse the carbon well under cold water until all the black dust disappears. you will hear the carbon making a fizzing sound.(that means it has been activated) add to the filter or you could drop it in the tank. Its usually good for about a month. i hope this answers you question.
