Description

Premium, research-grade, low-ash Fluval Carbon is highly porous, providing large amounts of surface area for absorption of impurities present in aquarium water. The inner matrix structure provides a large porous area that permanently traps organic waste while removing liquid wastes such as urine, dyes or many other impurities from the water. The activated carbon effectively removes heavy metals, odors, discolorations, organic contaminants and pollutants to leave your aquarium water crystal clear and sparkling. It does not contain phosphates and will not change the pH of the aquarium water. Fluval Carbon is pure activated carbon that is ideal in both fresh and salt water.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

  • Keeps my tank clear and odor-free
Style: 3.5 oz. Pattern Name: Carbon Filter
This carbon filter media works exactly as it should and keeps my aquarium water clear and odor-free. I noticed an improvement in water clarity pretty quickly after adding it to my filter. The granules are a good size, easy to rinse and pack into media bags, and they don’t turn to dust. It’s a reliable, good-quality carbon that I’ll continue to use for regular filter maintenance. ... show more

  • Tineco dirty water tank - smell be gone!
Style: 3.5 oz. Pattern Name: Carbon Filter
I used this to get the smell out of my Tineco mop dirty water tank! Plastic can hold onto smelly molecules from things like dirty water, especially if they sit for a while. Activated charcoal removes the smell because it strongly attracts and traps those odor molecules, pulling them out of the plastic. I put this activated charcoal in the tank filled with water for 2 days, then rinsed and the smell was gone! ... show more
