Aqua One ChemiCarb is a phosphate-free activated carbon for chemical filtration in freshwater aquariums. As water flows through the carbon, its porous surface traps fine particles and dissolved organic waste. This helps reduce discolouration and odours, keeping your water clear.

It works in almost any filter, including canister, hang-on, internal and wet/dry filters. It comes with a drawstring media bag that keeps the carbon pellets contained and easy to remove.

Key Features

• Phosphate free: Won’t add phosphates to your water, which can fuel algae.
• Clearer water: Helps remove dissolved organics, discolouration and odours.
• Post-treatment clean-up: Add it after a course of treatment to help remove leftover medication.
• Fits most filters: Suitable for canister, hang-on, internal and wet/dry systems.
• Media bag included: Keeps pellets together for easy placement and changes.

How to Use

1. Rinse the carbon in aquarium water to remove dust.
2. Fill the included media bag and tie it closed.
3. Place the bag in your filter where water flows through it, ideally after the mechanical media (sponge or floss).
4. Replace the carbon every 4–8 weeks.

Please note: For freshwater use. Remove carbon from your filter while medicating your aquarium, as it will absorb the treatment. Used carbon can’t be recharged, so throw it out rather than re-using it, as it may release trapped waste back into the water.

Suitable For: Freshwater aquariums of all sizes. Use it in canister, hang-on, internal and wet/dry filters.
