Activated Carbon

Active Carbon has a plethora of tiny pores that cause organic or inorganic substances to adhere to them. Carbon in fresh form performs more effectively than carbon that has been used for a long time. If all pores are completely filled, the carbon's efficiency is reduced. Carbon eliminates various dangerous elements in your fish tank, including chlorine, copper, proteins, and carbohydrates. It also helps remove sulfa medications and antibiotics, which is why it should be eliminated while the aquarium is treated, and then replaced after the treatment is finished to remove any remaining medications. Activated carbon is also effective in eliminating water discoloration. This means that activated carbon is able to eradicate unsightly cloudy or murky tanks and make your tank appear so clear, you'll be wondering if water is there at all.

Filter Sponge

Sponge filters are great for filtration that is gentle and safe, Fish species like bettas which do not flourish in currents that are strong can have the benefit of sponges. Shrimp are another fish species that require gentle filtration, not an intake of force that could take them out. Sponge filters are also ideal for tanks in hospitals, as the fish tend to be fragile and unable to take the more powerful suction of the standard inlet of a filter.
