Carbon Fresh — 1kg

This activated carbon media is for aquarists who need to clear water of medication residues or unwanted chemicals after treating fish, after an accidental contamination, or while a new aquarium is maturing. It is placed in the filter to adsorb dissolved substances rather than to provide biological or mechanical filtration.

Why it matters

• Phosphate-free: according to the manufacturer, the granulate is made with newer technology and does not release phosphates into the water.
• Large adsorption surface: high porosity and a large internal surface area support removal of pollutants, heavy metals and medication residues.
• Improved clarity: by binding dissolved compounds, the media helps keep the water clear.
• Defined use window: the instructions call for placing it in the filter basket for 72 hours, which sets a clear limit on treatment time.

What it works with

Carbon is used in the filtration section of aquarium systems, placed in the filter basket or media compartment. Rated for 600 l, it suits aquariums of that volume, with the product used for a single 72-hour course rather than continuously. Because carbon can also remove essential nutrients from the water, it is not recommended for long-term use in planted tanks.
