Carbonit-P (500g) Premium Pelletized Carbon

Product details

Carbonit-P (500g) Premium Pelletized Carbon is an activated carbon filter media designed for use in both marine and freshwater aquaria. It helps remove dissolved organic material from the water, which can support water-quality improvement by reducing latent organics and encouraging higher oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). It can be used full-time by some hobbyists or more occasionally when targeting water-quality issues, depending on the needs of your system.

Features:

• Activated carbon is engineered for increased porosity, helping it trap dissolved organic material as water passes through or contacts the pellets
• Aims for minimal impact on pH while removing dissolved organics
• High capacity for organic removal, supported by reported high Molasses number and high Iodine number
• Low-ash profile and minimal dust to support cleaner handling versus some carbon products
• Pelletized form supports effective flow and can be used in canister filtration or as passive carbon in a filter bag
• General guidance: using a mechanical pre-filter to remove particulates before carbon can prolong media effectiveness

Specifications:

• Product type: Premium pelletized activated carbon (filter media)
• Size/quantity: 500g
• Recommended coverage (per 500g): Efficient filtration for up to 450 US gallons (1,703 L) of water
• Rinse before first use: Yes—rinse under a stream of fresh water
• Canister filtration use: Load into the filter cartridge; slowing flow may be required for maximum effectiveness (follow filter manufacturer guidance)
• Passive filtration use: Place loosely in an 800μm mesh filter bag; locate in low- to medium-flow; turn once during use to shift pellets
• Typical replacement guidance: For 1–2 hours/day over 1 month: discard and replace at month end; high-nutrient tanks after 24 hours total use; lower-nutrient tanks up to 48 hours total use
• Caution: Not for human consumption; keep out of reach of children
