1000g Activated Carbon

Finest-Filters only sell high quality coconut-shell based granulated activated carbon, for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums, along with ponds. Carbon will remove any toxins from your water, and will give the water a final ‘polish’, leaving your water crystal clear!

Traditional pelleted activated carbon has a very low surface area. The even shape means that only the outside surface of the carbon is exposed to your water, so the middle area never actually does any filtering. The more surface area which is exposed, the more carbon you actually get for your money! This is why we supply granulated activated carbon, which has a huge surface area compared to traditional pelleted carbon, saving you money!

As our carbon is coconut-shell based, it is highly pourous and efficient when it comes to organic chemical adsorption.

This carbon comes supplied in a grip seal bag, so you can remove the amount you need, and then seal and store the rest.

It is usually necessary to place granular activated carbon in a filter media bag (not supplied) for most aquarium/pond usage cases.

Dosage: We recommend that 50g of carbon should be used per 50 litres of aquarium water. Change carbon after 3-4 weeks, or when aquarium water discolours.
