Maintain clean, clear, and healthy water in freshwater and planted aquariums.
Waterbox Freshwater Carbon Media is a premium-grade activated carbon designed to remove toxins, organic waste, discoloration, odors, and residual medications from aquarium water. Its highly porous structure provides a large surface area for maximum absorption, helping to maintain crystal-clear water and a healthier environment for your fish and plants.
Regular use of carbon media helps reduce stress on aquarium livestock by eliminating dissolved organics and chemical impurities that can accumulate over time. It is particularly beneficial in fish-only systems or when used temporarily to remove medications or water discoloration.
Key Benefits:
• Removes toxins, discoloration, and unpleasant odors
• Absorbs dissolved organics and leftover medications
• Improves water clarity and overall water quality
• Reduces stress on freshwater fish and plants
• Ideal for freshwater and planted aquariums
Directions for Use:
Use 150 ml of media per 100 L (25 gal) of aquarium water.
Place in a canister filter or media bag with good water flow.
Replace carbon media once per month for optimal results.
In planted aquariums or when used to remove medication, limit use to three days at a time.
