Carbon primarily handles chemical filtration; it should complement biological and mechanical filtration methods. Proper water flow through the carbon media is important to maximize its adsorption capacity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Coral Essentials Activated Carbon is an ultra-high grade, bituminous carbon, in a handy 2L bucket. It is a virgin activated carbon in pelletised form, typical size 4-5mm diameter and 6-7mm long. Derived from bituminous coal, its high activity and extreme surface area (due to the activation manufacturing process) make it ideal for marine aquarium filtration applications. For filters, it’s generally accepted that carbon made from bituminous coal is far and away much superior. In fact, it’s the first choice for human drinking water purifiers the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse carbon thoroughly in fresh water before use to remove any residual carbon dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"field-sizes wp-block-acf-field-blocks-acf-text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eAvailable in 2L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"reefunderground","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68143776792789,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/9287\/2661\/files\/Activated-Carbon_5a4ffbbe-dfd9-4a88-8d37-976e49e444a2.webp?v=1794223456","url":"https:\/\/reefunderground.com.au\/products\/coral-essentials-activated-carbon-2l","provider":"reefunderground","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
