Red Sea Reef-Spec Carbon

Introduction: Red Sea Reef Spec Carbon is a premium activated carbon designed for marine and reef aquariums. It effectively removes organic pollutants, discoloration, toxins, and odors, ensuring crystal-clear water and a healthier environment for sensitive corals and other marine organisms. Its low phosphate content and fast-acting nature make it a perfect choice for reef tanks, providing long-lasting filtration without promoting unwanted algae growth.

Features:

• High Adsorption Efficiency: Offers exceptional removal of dissolved organic compounds (DOCs), harmful toxins, and other pollutants due to its advanced porous structure.
• Fast-Acting: Works almost immediately, quickly clearing up water discoloration and removing impurities and odors.
• Phosphate-Free: Specially formulated to ensure no phosphate leaching, making it safe for sensitive reef environments and preventing algae growth.
• Low Dust: Pre-washed to minimize dust, reducing water cloudiness upon use and making it easier to handle.
• Optimal Grain Size: Designed with the ideal grain size for excellent water flow while maximizing surface area for superior adsorption efficiency.

Usage:

1. Rinse Before Use: Rinse the carbon thoroughly with fresh water to remove any residual dust before placing it in the aquarium.
2. Placement: Use in a media bag or dedicated filter compartment. Place in high-flow areas such as canister filters, sumps, or reactors to ensure maximum water contact with the media.
3. Maintenance: Monitor the water clarity and replace the carbon every 1-2 months or when you observe any signs of discoloration or increased DOC levels. For heavily stocked tanks, more frequent changes may be necessary.
4. Maximize Efficiency: Ensure water flows evenly through the media for optimal adsorption and to prevent clogging.

Available Sizes:

• 200 ml: Treats up to 200 liters of water, lasts 1-2 months
• 500 ml: Treats up to 500 liters of water, lasts 1-2 months
• 1000 ml: Treats up to 1000 liters of water, lasts 1-2 months
• 2000 ml: Treats up to 2000 liters of water, lasts 1-2 months

Recommendations:

• For Clear Water: Red Sea Reef Spec Carbon is ideal for maintaining water clarity, especially after water changes or when pollutants accumulate.
• Perfect for Reef Systems: It’s especially beneficial in reef aquariums with sensitive corals, where maintaining pristine water conditions is crucial for their health and growth.
• Regular Monitoring: Regularly monitor your aquarium’s water quality and replace the carbon accordingly to prevent the build-up of harmful substances.
• Complement with Other Filtration: For best results, use alongside mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration methods to ensure a well-rounded approach to maintaining a healthy aquarium.
• Use Moderately: While effective, avoid overuse to prevent stripping beneficial compounds needed by some corals in your reef system.
