Activated Carbon for Aquariums – Chemical Filtration Media

Activated carbon is a highly porous filtration media that has been specially treated to create millions of microscopic pores, dramatically increasing its surface area. This extensive surface area allows activated carbon to adsorb and absorb a wide range of contaminants, making it extremely effective for removing pollutants from aquarium water.

Removes Chlorine & Chloramines

Activated carbon is widely used in aquariums to help remove chlorine and chloramines, improving water quality and making it safer for fish, plants, and invertebrates.

Improves Water Clarity & Removes Odours

As a chemical filtration media, activated carbon helps eliminate many organic and inorganic compounds dissolved in aquarium water. This results in clearer water, reduced discolouration, and removal of unpleasant odours, keeping your aquarium looking and smelling clean.

How Activated Carbon Works

Activated carbon purifies water through two processes:

• Absorption – Pollutants are trapped within the microscopic pores of the carbon, acting like a molecular-level mechanical filter.
• Adsorption – Contaminants chemically bond to the carbon’s vast surface area, locking impurities in place and preventing them from re-entering the water.

Ideal For:

• Freshwater and marine aquariums
• Removing medication residue after treatment
• Reducing tannins, odours, and water discolouration
• Improving overall water quality and clarity

Activated carbon is an essential aquarium filter media for maintaining clean, healthy, and crystal-clear water when used as part of a balanced filtration system.
