Reef Spec Carbon (100g)

Product details

Reef Spec Carbon (100g) is Red Sea’s highly activated carbon filter media for marine and reef aquariums. It’s designed to help polish water by adsorbing organic pollutants that can contribute to discoloration, odors, and residual impurities after treatments. Use it in a media bag or in a reactor so water can pass through the carbon and its porous surface for adsorption. This 100g size is intended for aquarium filtration and water-quality maintenance over replacement cycles, based on the manufacturer’s recommended dosing ranges.

Features:

• Engineered flake carbon with a micro- and macro-porous structure for high total adsorption capacity
• Helps with routine organic load and yellow-tint/odor control in reef systems when dosed as recommended
• Supports post-medication cleanup by adsorbing medication residuals based on manufacturer dosing guidance
• Designed for use after ozone by targeting residual ozone with carbon placed at the outlet of the ozone/protein skimmer flow path (per Red Sea’s guidance)
• Provides ultra-low phosphate output and minimal ash characteristics while maintaining stable pH in the aquarium context described by the manufacturer
• Can be used in a media bag or reactor; manufacturer guidance includes using the included bag and adjusting flow for contact efficiency
