Buy it right the first time, and keep your security tight by keeping the smell down right. You'll save yourself wasted time,energy,money, and hassle.

Ok, why spend 20 bucks on 2.5 pounds of shit made for aquarium filters when you can spend 45 bucks on 6 pounds of premium carbon made FOR carbon scrubbers?!
If you're wanting someone to tell you to go ahead and buy the ones you listed, then go ahead and buy the one you listed. But I would not even try and make a srubber with either of the products you have linked to even if I grew in a match box!

Well, its made for different purposes, and so carbon that's made to go in a scrubber will work much better than carbon that's NOT made for it...
What you ordered will work, just not as efficiently as you want it to...
-------------------- My best run so far

There was no "roast" there at all, I was just telling you the truth and the facts. Tough love, tough love! :p
