TECO Pure Grade Reef Carbon removes Dissolved Organic Compounds (DOC), agents that discolor aquarium water and cause odors, chlorine and chloramines. Will not leach phosphate into the aquarium.
Directions
Basic: Use 100 grams (one cup) per each 400 L (106 gallons) of water. The amount does not need to be precise. Place carbon inside mesh filter bag and rinse well to remove dust. Place bag in aquarium in an area where water will be forced to flow through the bag. Remove after two to three days. Discard the used carbon. Add carbon biweekly.
Notes on use
Do not leave carbon in the aquarium for longer than three days at a time; carbon cannot left in the aquarium may remove beneficial elements. Discontinue carbon usage while medicating the aquarium.
TECO Pure Grade Reef Carbon is granular in form. Many palletized carbons on the market are composed of compressed carbon dust – the waste from manufacturing granular carbons. These pellets lose a tremendous amount of surface area and adsorption capability.
