JBJ Activated Carbon 7g packs (5 packs)
Activated Carbon absorbs a variety of dissolved contaminants, such as chloramine, chlorine, as well as tannins (which make the water color), and phenols (which create unpleasant odors). It can help prevent aquarium water from turning yellow over time.Filtering
Carbon activated can lose its efficiency quickly if exposed to large amounts of aquarium debris. Thus, carbon should be put in the middle of the mechanical filtration media inside the saltwater filter. Be aware that if you don't maintain your tank in a clean state and debris builds into the filter, it won't perform as well.Changes in Carbon
Since carbon bonds with the substances it eliminates, it becomes saturated and cannot eliminate additional contaminants. Thus, it should be replaced regularly. Once a month is typically enough. The longer interval between replacements won't harm the tank, however, the carbon is likely to reduce its ability to remove toxic substances in the water. If you notice yellowing in the water or an unpleasant odor from the tank, it's time to replace it.
