My buddy Dan (APAJaws) showed me that you can buy activated carbon filters for fish aquariums for cheap, then cut them open and dump the contents into the storage container. I will be doing this for the upcoming season as well.
You can buy the stuff in bulk rather than cutting open filters. I keep a few aquariums and buy activated carbon regularly. You can get it in sizes from 16oz all the way up to 7lbs or more. I usually buy 3-4 liters at a time which will cost between $13-18 dollars + $8 for shipping.
