Aqua One Activated Carbon Filter Media PremiumCarb 450g
Aqua One PremiumCarb is an activated carbon that is phosphate free and can be used in all types of filtration systems.
PremiumCarb is a maze of microscopic pores produced by the activation process. These pores absorb minute particles held in suspension in your aquarium water. As the water passes through it, the carbon “traps” the minute waste particles in its pores and consequently removes them from the water.
Aqua One PremiumCarb is manufactured using the highest quality raw materials. As a result, it is capable of quickly and efficiently removing dissolved organics and waste from your aquarium water. During its production, the carbon is steamed, which enlarges the pore size and surface area. This process is referred to as activation.

I’ve used this carbon in my 100-liter freshwater tank for three months. The water clarity has improved noticeably, and I see less organic buildup. It’s easy to install and lasts longer than the previous filter media I used.

Works well with my hang-on-back filter. I’ve used it for two months and haven’t had to replace it yet. The water quality has stabilized and looks healthier.
