    Just got rox carbon from BRS that I want to use in a 8 gallon nano. The carbon is much finer than i had thought. My concern is the fines. What's the best way to contain the carbon? I've thought about wedging it between a couple pieces of filter foam. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    You can get a mesh bag.

    The mesh bags I've seen seen too course, unless they make a fine mesh?
