This Activated Carbon is specifically designed to work with the Fluval C Series Power Filters. It significantly enhances water clarity by efficiently getting rid of unpleasant odors, discoloration, and various impurities. As a chemical filter media, it plays a key role in creating a clean and healthy water environment for your aquarium. Whether you have a freshwater or saltwater aquarium, this product is a great choice. It comes in a convenient 3 - pack format. Available sizes include C2 Activated Carbon (3 x 45 g or 1.6 oz), C3 Activated Carbon (3 x 70 g or 2.47 oz), and C4 Activated Carbon (3 x 140 g or 4.9 oz). The Fluval C Power Filters offer a comprehensive 5 - stage filtration system. There are two mechanical stages, one chemical stage, and two biological stages, which guarantee excellent filtration results. The foam pad has a highly porous structure with a large surface area. It can mechanically filter out large particles and debris from the aquarium, and it's easy to slide out for quick cleaning. The Poly/Foam Pad performs the first and second mechanical filtration stages effectively. In the first stage, the porous foam side catches large particles, and in the second stage, the dense polyester side traps finer debris. The Activated Carbon has superior adsorption capabilities to remove odors, discoloration, and impurities. In the final two stages, a Bio - Screen pad provides a large biological surface area for friendly bacteria to grow, and it also blocks debris from entering a trickle chamber filled with C - Nodes that are super - charged for fast and efficient nitrification. Fluval Zeo - Carb is a high - quality blend of research - grade Fluval Carbon and Fluval Ammonia Remover. These two effective media work together to eliminate liquefied impurities, odors, and discoloration, while also removing toxic ammonia to keep your aquarium clean and healthy. Combining these two products into one saves space inside the filter for other types of media.
Using this Fluval C Series Activated Carbon is easy. First, make sure your Fluval C Series Power Filter is turned off. Then, open the filter and place the activated carbon in the appropriate section as indicated in your filter's manual. You can choose the right size (C2, C3, or C4) based on your aquarium's needs. For maintenance, check the carbon regularly. If the water starts to develop an odor again or looks discolored, it might be time to replace the carbon. Usually, it's a good idea to replace it every few weeks, but this can vary depending on your aquarium's conditions. When replacing the carbon, simply remove the old one and insert a new pack. Remember to wash your hands after handling the carbon. Also, keep the carbon in a dry place when not in use to maintain its effectiveness.
