Aqua One ChemiCarb Carbon

Aqua One ChemiCarb Activated Carbon

Achieve unparalleled water clarity and a healthier aquatic environment with Aqua One ChemiCarb Activated Carbon. This high-quality chemical filter media is expertly designed to remove a wide range of impurities that can degrade water quality and dull your aquarium's appearance.

ChemiCarb works by drawing water through its microscopic pores, effectively "trapping" dissolved organic waste, odours, and discolouration. This process helps to:

• Create Crystal Clear Water: Removes minute particles held in suspension, leaving your aquarium water sparkling and pristine.
• Remove Dissolved Organic Waste: Absorbs compounds like tannins leached from driftwood (which cause yellowing/browning), uneaten food particles, fish waste, and other dissolved organics that can accumulate and lead to cloudy water and foul odours.
• Eliminate Odours: Neutralizes unpleasant smells, contributing to a fresher aquarium environment.
• Remove Residual Medications: Ideal for use after completing a course of medication to clear any lingering chemicals from the water.
• Removes Toxins: Helps to remove various toxins that can be present in aquarium water.

Key Features:

• Phosphate-Free: Ensures that the carbon itself does not contribute to nuisance algae growth.
• Large Surface Area: Maximizes its absorption capabilities for efficient filtration.
• Versatile Application: Can be used in all types of filtration systems, including:
  • Pressurised canister filters
  • Hang-on filters
  • Internal filters
  • Wet/dry filters (sumps)
• Suitable for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums.
• Includes Netting Bag: For easy placement and removal within your filter.

Available Sizes:

• 300g
• 600g
• 1.2kg

Important Usage & Maintenance:

• Rinse Before Use: Always rinse Aqua One ChemiCarb thoroughly with aquarium water (not tap water) until any dust has subsided before placing it into your filter.
• Placement: For optimal effectiveness, place the carbon after your mechanical filtration media (e.g., filter floss or sponges) to prevent larger debris from prematurely clogging its pores.
• Regular Replacement is Crucial: Activated carbon has a finite absorption capacity. Once its pores are filled, it can no longer absorb impurities and may even begin to release previously collected waste back into your aquarium. It is essential to remove and replace Aqua One ChemiCarb every 6-8 weeks (or sooner if water quality issues persist) for continuous effectiveness and to prevent any re-release of absorbed pollutants.
• Remove During Medication: Always remove activated carbon from your filter when medicating your aquarium, as it will absorb the medication, rendering the treatment ineffective. Once the treatment is complete, you can reintroduce ChemiCarb to remove any residual medication.

Keep your aquarium water clear, fresh, and healthy with the powerful purification of Aqua One ChemiCarb Activated Carbon.
