Activated Carbon for 6G Nano Cube

The Activated Carbon for 6G Nano Cube ensures your aquarium water stays crystal clear. It is the ideal replacement for both freshwater and saltwater JBJ Nano Cube aquariums, ranging from 6G to 28G. By using this activated carbon, you can maintain a healthy and clean environment for your aquatic pets.

Why Choose Activated Carbon for Nano Cube?

Activated carbon plays a crucial role in keeping your aquarium water free from harmful pollutants. It effectively removes contaminants like chlorine, tannins, and phenols, which can discolor the water and produce unpleasant odors. To achieve the best results, make sure to replace the activated carbon every month.

• Effectively Clarifies Water: Activated carbon quickly absorbs dissolved pollutants, keeping your water clean and free from odors.
• Long-Lasting Filtration: This carbon filter actively provides up to 30 days of filtration for your 6G Nano Cube.
• Suitable for Both Freshwater & Saltwater: It works perfectly in both environments, ensuring versatile use.
• Pollutant Removal: It effectively absorbs harmful substances like chlorine, chloramine, and tannins, providing a healthier environment for your fish.

What is Activated Carbon?

Activated carbon is a specially treated material that undergoes heating at extremely high temperatures. This treatment creates a massive surface area filled with tiny pores. Because of its porous structure, it excels at trapping pollutants, making it an essential component in keeping aquarium water clean.

How Does Activated Carbon Work?

Activated carbon works by actively absorbing unwanted chemicals, odors, and discolorations from the water. Here's what it removes:

• Chlorine & Chloramine: Activated carbon rapidly absorbs these chemicals, ensuring your fish stay safe and healthy.
• Tannins: It effectively prevents the yellowing of water by eliminating tannins, keeping your aquarium water crystal clear.
• Phenols: Activated carbon removes phenols, which are responsible for creating unpleasant odors in your aquarium.

Although activated carbon efficiently removes many harmful substances, it cannot eliminate ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates. For these issues, you must regularly perform water changes or use additional treatments.

Where to Place Activated Carbon in Your Nano Cube Filter?

To ensure maximum efficiency, place the activated carbon in the filter after the mechanical filter media. By positioning it here, the carbon can effectively filter out contaminants without getting clogged by debris. This placement allows the carbon to function at its best for longer.

When Should You Change the Activated Carbon?

Since activated carbon absorbs pollutants, it eventually becomes saturated and loses its ability to purify the water. Therefore, you should replace it once a month to keep the water quality optimal. If you notice your water turning yellow or detect any unpleasant odors, it’s a sign that the carbon needs replacing.
