Dophin Activated Carbon 300g

The Dophin Activated Carbon 300g is a chemical filtration media for aquariums, designed to improve water clarity by absorbing dissolved organic impurities, odour, tannins, yellow tint and medication residue. It is useful for freshwater aquariums, planted aquariums and fish-only tanks where cleaner and clearer water is required.

The Dophin Activated Carbon 300g pack is suitable for medium aquariums and larger filter chambers, including canister filters, HOB filters, top filters and sump filter sections. For practical aquarium use, 300g can be used for aquariums up to 300 litres, depending on water condition, stocking level and how much organic waste is present. It is especially helpful after medication treatment, after driftwood releases tannins or when aquarium water develops smell or discoloration.

Activated carbon should be placed after mechanical filtration media so larger debris does not clog the carbon too quickly. It should not be treated as the main biological media, as it does not remove ammonia, nitrite or nitrate like a mature biofilter. Replace it once exhausted, and avoid using it during active medication treatment.
