Super Activated Carbon Aquarium Filter Sponge 32 x 12.5cm – Black

Product Description

Crystal Clear Water, Less Odour and Better Aquarium Filtration!

Keep your aquarium water cleaner, clearer and fresher with the Super Activated Carbon Aquarium Filter Sponge.

Designed to enhance aquarium filtration, this specialised black filter sponge combines a porous filtration structure with activated carbon to help reduce unwanted odours, discolouration and dissolved organic impurities in aquarium water.

Activated carbon is commonly used in aquarium filtration because of its ability to adsorb certain dissolved contaminants, helping maintain clearer water and a cleaner aquatic environment.

Measuring 32cm × 12.5cm with a thickness of 1.5cm, this versatile filtration sponge can be trimmed to fit a wide range of aquarium filtration systems, including sumps, canister filters, hang-on-back filters and compatible internal filters.

Key Features:

• Super Activated Carbon Filtration: Designed to help adsorb dissolved organic impurities and unwanted substances from aquarium water.
• Reduces Unpleasant Odours: Helps remove odour-causing compounds to keep aquarium water fresher.
• Improves Water Clarity: Helps reduce yellowing and discolouration caused by dissolved organic compounds.
• Chemical Filtration Support: Activated carbon assists in removing certain dissolved contaminants and residual aquarium treatments.
• Porous Sponge Structure: Allows water to flow through the media while helping trap suspended dirt and debris.
• Supports a Cleaner Aquarium: Provides additional filtration to complement existing mechanical and biological filtration systems.
• Cut-to-Size Design: Easily trim the sponge with scissors to fit your aquarium filter compartment.
• Versatile Filter Compatibility: Suitable for compatible sump filters, canister filters, hang-on-back filters and internal aquarium filters.
• Slim 1.5cm Profile: Ideal for filter compartments with limited space.
• Easy Installation: Simply position the sponge inside your filtration system where water can flow through it.

Why Use Activated Carbon in Your Aquarium?

Activated carbon is a popular form of chemical filtration used to improve aquarium water quality.

Its highly porous structure provides a large surface area that can adsorb certain dissolved substances from the water.

Benefits of activated carbon filtration include:

• Reduces Water Discolouration: Helps remove dissolved organic compounds responsible for yellow or tinted aquarium water.
• Removes Unpleasant Odours: Adsorbs many odour-causing substances.
• Helps Remove Medication Residues: Can assist in removing certain aquarium medications after treatment has finished.
• Improves Water Clarity: Helps maintain a clearer, more attractive aquarium.
• Complements Existing Filtration: Works alongside biological and mechanical filtration media.

Please Note:

• Activated carbon is primarily intended for chemical filtration and does not replace biological filtration.
• Activated carbon does not reliably remove ammonia, nitrite or nitrate from aquarium water.
• Remove activated carbon during medication treatments if instructed by the medication manufacturer, as carbon may adsorb certain medications.
• Carbon adsorption capacity is limited, and the sponge should be replaced periodically.
• Filtration performance depends on water flow, aquarium conditions and the carbon media's adsorption capacity.
• The sponge may require trimming to fit individual filtration systems.
• Product colour may vary slightly due to lighting and screen settings.
