Dophin Activated Carbon 150g

The Dophin Activated Carbon 150g is a chemical aquarium filter media used to improve water clarity and remove unwanted dissolved impurities from freshwater and planted aquariums. Activated carbon helps absorb odour, yellow tint, tannins, medication residue and organic compounds that can make aquarium water look dull or smell unpleasant.

The Dophin Activated Carbon 150g is suitable for small to medium aquarium filters, including HOB filters, canister filters, top filters and internal filter chambers with media space. It is especially useful after medication treatment, after adding driftwood that releases tannins, or when aquarium water develops smell or discoloration. For regular use, this 150g pack can be used for aquariums up to 150 litres, depending on stocking, filter flow and water condition.

Activated carbon should be rinsed gently before use to remove fine dust and placed after mechanical filtration media so it does not clog quickly. It should not be used as the only filter media because it does not replace biological filtration. Remove activated carbon during medication treatment, then add fresh carbon after the treatment period to help remove medication residue.
