Nope, it’s ZERO. It’s poison for fish

Wet damp carbon does have a particular smell , like when you put a fire out you can smell in the lingering faint steam kind of , the wet damp charcoal

Wait! It has to be wet first ?
No but it becomes damp as it absorbs some moisture from the bong water evap and humidity over time

What @ifish is describing is what I was talking about above, how when you change the media out it’s sticky and clumps.
But maybe it has to be wetted down before using to eliminate the ammonia odor 
Just shooting the breeze , I love a good puzzle
Just a guess here, but pre-wetting it may make it clump faster. There’s a point where the carbon is so sticky/wet that you can’t smoke through it at all.
I reed some rinse in distilled water and then dry again but this is for removing fine dust

Moisture lessens the life of tent carbon filter , so would be the same for this
Do you think rinsing and drying before using is the solution ?
I wonder why someone would want to remove the dust? It seems to me that the water would do that.

Drying it out between hits kind of or just keepin it drier
Probably just for pipes with no water

If you wet the two different carbons with spray so not swimming does it give of the smell over time maybe with constant spays every now and again ?
We’ll do one more test. I’ll clean everything, spritz a handful of granules w distilled water, take a single hit and smell both the filter and lower chamber, if ok I’ll keep taking hit per hit. Once I smell the ammonia I’ll stop and tell how many hit it takes to changeover.

If you go into a room that was on fire and was just put out and there is lots of burnt wood on there lots of charcoal everywhere , when the smoke all clears there is a very clean type smell but I was never told of the smell as ammonia and to avoid breathing it ? It does have a particular strong but clean type smell

Yes it’s a cleaner. You can’t taste ammonia, only smell it.
