AF Carbon

1000ml Bag

A premium, steam-activated granulated carbon media formulated for freshwater planted aquariums.

Aquaforest Carbon is a high-quality activated carbon designed to remove undesired chemicals, colouration, and impurities from aquarium water. Thanks to its steam-activation process, it does not release phosphates into the water, offering a purer and safer media option. With excellent adsorption capacity and porosity, it binds organic residues, medication remnants, heavy metals, and other contaminants — helping restore water clarity and overall stability in planted tanks.

Key Benefits:

• Removes unwanted chemical compounds, impurities, and discolouration.

• Does not leach phosphate, making it safe for sensitive planted systems.

• Enhances water clarity and supports a clean visual presentation of planted aquascapes.

• Ideal for use after treatments, substrate disturbance or when tuning high-performance setups.

Usage Guide:

• Place the carbon in a filter basket or suitable media holder in your filtration circuit.

• Recommended dosage for freshwater: approximately 100 ml per 200 L of aquarium water.

• Replace the media every 4–8 weeks (depending on load and usage) to maintain effectiveness.

• Use for treatment phases (e.g., after fish medication, after substrate cleaning) but note: long-term use can remove essential trace elements and may require balancing.

• Rinse with water before first use to remove fines and dust.

• Store dry, away from sunlight, in a sealed container when unopened.

Aquaforest Carbon offers a highly reliable and safe carbon media option — refined for planted freshwater systems, free from phosphate leach and backed by quality performance. Whether recovering after a major maintenance or maintaining a flawless display, this product helps ensure your water stays clear, your plants stay healthy, and your setup performs at its best
