Weak on the search function?

Carbon has been beat to death and some on this forum. Do a little searching and I'm sure you'll find more than you want to see.

Now that is a filtration system... I went to HD and bought a GE water filter and connected it to my refill hose between the tank and the faucet. worked great!

It works for small tanks but honestly what media is in those things would become worthless very quickly depending on your location and how frequent you do water changes. Also due to the amount of carbon it holds it's effectiveness is also limited.
