Carbonit-X3 (225g) Activated Carbon

Product details

Carbonit-X3 (225g) Activated Carbon is a filter-media activated carbon product designed for chemical filtration in aquariums. In practice, activated carbon helps remove dissolved organic material that can contribute to poor water quality, and it can also be used to address specific water problems such as chloramines and ammonia when they are present. Carbonit-X3 is intended to be placed in a filter system (such as a cartridge or a mesh bag) so aquarium water can contact the media, allowing the carbon’s pores to adsorb organics and support oxidation-reduction processes that can help promote better overall water quality.

Features:

• Triple-action chemical filtration helps remove ammonia, chloramines, and latent organic material
• Supports oxidation/reduction reactions and may help promote higher oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)
• High-capacity media for organic removal (includes high Iodine number)
• Low-dust media for easier handling
• Average particle size is designed to encourage good flow and effectiveness
• Can be used continuously or intermittently depending on your aquarium’s needs and whether you use protein skimming

Specifications:

• Package size: 225 g
• Coverage guidance per 1 unit: Efficient filtering up to 225 US-gallons (~852 L) of water
• Pre-use prep: Rinse under a stream of fresh water before first use
• Suggested approach: full-time use: May be used continuously; replace based on conditions (see interval guidance below)
• Suggested approach: short use in higher-nutrient systems: Replace after 24-hours of total use in high-nutrient aquaria
• Suggested approach: extended use in lower-nutrient systems: May be extended up to 48-hours of total use in lower-nutrient aquaria
• Placement/flow note: Slowing water flow through the media can improve effectiveness; canister filtration uses cartridges, and passive use can use an 800 μm mesh bag
• Safety: Keep out of reach of children; not for human consumption
