Aquaforest Carbon 1000mL

Aquaforest Carbon is a high-quality steam-activated granular carbon that quickly removes impurities, discoloration, and cloudiness for crystal-clear water. Because it is activated by steam rather than phosphoric acid, it contains no phosphate. It also strips out medication residues and the allelopathic compounds corals release in their chemical warfare, making it ideal for mixed reef and ULNS systems as well as everyday fresh and saltwater tanks.

Part of the Aquaforest reef range. Run it in your filtration to keep water clear and your corals healthy, and use it to polish water after medication.

Features

• Steam-activated, phosphate-free. No phosphate leaching, unlike acid-washed carbon.
• Crystal-clear water. Removes discoloration, cloudiness, odors, and organic impurities.
• Removes toxins and med residues. Clears allelopathic compounds between corals and leftover medication.
• Fresh and saltwater. Ideal for mixed reef and ULNS tanks, and works in any freshwater or marine system.

FAQ

Why steam-activated carbon?
It contains no phosphate, so it will not leach phosphate and feed algae the way acid-washed carbon can.

How much do I use?
Saltwater: 100 mL per 27 gallons. Freshwater: 100 mL per 54 gallons. Place it in a reactor or media bag.

Can I use it after medicating?
Yes. Carbon removes leftover medication and clears the water once treatment is finished.

How often do I replace it?
Every 4 weeks for best results.
