What is activated carbon and how does it work in an aquarium?

Activated carbon is a highly porous material that effectively removes impurities, odors, and discoloration from water in aquariums. It works through a process called adsorption, where contaminants adhere to the surface of the carbon particles, helping to keep your tank clean and clear.

How do I use the activated carbon bags in my aquarium?

To use the AQUAPAPA activated carbon bags, simply rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess dust before placing them in your aquarium filter. The mesh bags allow for easy placement and ensure that the carbon does not escape into the tank.

Is this activated carbon safe for both freshwater and marine aquariums?

Yes, the AQUAPAPA activated carbon is phosphate-free and safe for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums. It helps maintain a healthy environment for fish and aquatic plants.

How often should I replace the activated carbon in my filter?

It is recommended to replace the activated carbon every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner if you notice a decline in water clarity or an increase in odors. Regular replacement ensures optimal filtration and a clean environment for your aquatic life.

What is the size of the media bags and how much activated carbon do they contain?

Each media bag contains 5 lbs of activated carbon, with a total of 10 lbs included in the package (2 bags). The size of each media bag is 12 inches by 10.5 inches, making them suitable for various filter applications.
