I had a bad experience with one of those carbon block units meant for
home filtration.  I bought the best Omni CB-3 carbon cartridge,
installed it in my RO unit and promptly killed a neon and stressed other
fish because of the ample amounts of chlorine being dumped on them.  I
know the cartridge fit tight in the canister, so no water should've
gotten around it, yet chlorine was in the water.

I later bought a chlorine test kit and the correct cartridges for my RO
unit.  Zero chlorine and the cartridges I bought were a lot cheaper than
that CB-3.
