Carbonit-X3 (450g) Activated Carbon

Product details

Carbonit-X3 (450g) Activated Carbon is a filter media designed to remove dissolved organic material from aquarium water while also supporting chemical filtration of ammonia and chloramines. As a highly porous activated carbon, it works by trapping contaminants within its internal pore structure, helping improve water quality and promoting oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). In practice, this carbon is commonly used in canister filtration or in a mesh bag for controlled contact time, either continuously or as an occasional “water polishing” step when you want to reduce unwanted organics.

Features:

• High-capacity chemical adsorption for organic removal, supported by a high iodine number
• Triple-action performance targeting ammonia, chloramines, and latent organic material
• Supports water quality improvement by facilitating oxidation/reduction reactions to promote ORP
• Made to create minimal dust during handling
• Average particle size is designed to encourage good flow and effectiveness
• Can be used continuously or for shorter, timed periods depending on your tank conditions
