Together with the micro\/macroporous structure, they give very high total adsorption capacity and rapid extraction of reef-specific organic pollutants. Small organic molecule adsorption is 1000 mg\/g and large organic molecule adsorption is 280 mg\/g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a filter bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, a filter bag is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich pack size should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is available in 250g, 500g and 1000g.
