Description

What is the active carbon?

“Active carbon” is a term often used interchangeably with “activated carbon” or “activated charcoal.” Activated carbon is a highly porous form of carbon that is processed to have a large surface area and is widely used for its adsorptive properties. These properties make it effective for various applications, including purification, filtration, and adsorption of a wide range of substances. Here are some key features and applications of active carbon

Is that used in Aquariums? 

Yes, activated carbon is commonly used in aquariums for specific purposes. Here are some common uses of activated carbon in aquariums:

  1. Activated carbon is often used to improve water clarity by removing impurities that can cause water discoloration or cloudiness. It can help clear up tannins from driftwood, dissolved organic compounds, and other substances that make the water appear murky.
  2. Activated carbon is effective at adsorbing and removing odors from the aquarium water. It can help eliminate unpleasant smells that may develop due to decaying organic matter or other factors.
  3.  Activated carbon can adsorb certain chemicals and medications that are added to the aquarium. This can be beneficial when you want to remove residual medication after treating sick fish or if you need to remove excess nutrients or contaminants.
  4. In emergencies, activated carbon can be used to help remove harmful toxins, such as ammonia or heavy metals, from the aquarium water. However, it is not a replacement for proper water management and maintenance.
  5. Activated carbon can prevent the yellowing of water that can occur over time in some aquariums. This yellowing is often caused by the accumulation of dissolved organic compounds.
