Aqua One PremiumCarb Active Carbon

Aqua One PremiumCarb Activated Carbon

Achieve crystal-clear water and remove unwanted impurities from your aquarium with Aqua One PremiumCarb Activated Carbon. This high-quality activated carbon is a powerful chemical filtration media, designed to absorb dissolved organic waste, odours, and discolouration, leaving your aquarium water sparkling.

Aqua One PremiumCarb is manufactured using the highest quality raw materials and undergoes a special steaming process during production. This "activation" process enlarges the carbon's pore size and surface area, creating a complex maze of microscopic pores that efficiently trap minute particles and dissolved organic compounds. As water passes through the carbon, these impurities are effectively absorbed, ensuring a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing aquatic environment.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Polishes Water to Crystal Clarity: Effectively removes microscopic particles held in suspension, leading to exceptionally clear aquarium water.
• Removes Dissolved Organic Waste: Absorbs tannins (which can cause yellowing/browning), dyes, and other dissolved organic compounds that can build up from uneaten food and fish waste.
• Eliminates Odours: Effectively adsorbs compounds that cause unpleasant smells in your aquarium.
• Phosphate Free: Ensures that the carbon itself does not contribute to phosphate levels, which can fuel undesirable algae growth.
• Large Surface Area: Maximizes the absorption capacity for efficient impurity removal.
• Suitable for All Filtration Systems: Can be used in pressurised canister filters, hang-on filters, internal filters, wet/dry filters, and sumps.
• Suitable for Both Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums.
• Includes Filter Media Net Bag: Each pack typically comes with a convenient net bag for easy placement and removal within your filter.

Available Sizes:

• 250g
• 450g
• 950g

Important Usage Information:

• Rinse Thoroughly: Always rinse Aqua One PremiumCarb with aquarium water (not tap water) until the dust diminishes before placing it in your filter. This prevents any fine carbon dust from entering your tank and ensures the carbon's full absorption capacity is available for aquarium impurities.
• Placement: For optimal effectiveness, place the activated carbon after your mechanical filtration media (e.g., filter floss or sponges). This prevents larger debris from clogging the carbon's pores prematurely.
• Regular Replacement: Activated carbon eventually becomes saturated with absorbed impurities and can begin to leach some back into the water. It is essential to remove and replace Aqua One PremiumCarb every 3-4 weeks for continuous effectiveness.
