This set of 8 carbon sachets is intended for aquarists who want chemical and biological filtration in one medium. Each sachet combines activated carbon with organic carbon and is dosed at one sachet per 60 L of water, which makes it easy to match to a tank's volume.
Why it matters
- The activated carbon is described by the manufacturer as highly porous, which is the property that determines how much surface is available for binding contaminants.
- The organic carbon component serves as a food source for beneficial bacteria, which the manufacturer states break down organic pollutants in the water.
- According to the manufacturer, the medium targets nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, heavy metals and odour, using both biological and chemical processes.
- Cleaning balls included in the medium are meant to reduce fine particles that could come from the carbon itself, so the carbon is not expected to cloud the water.
