Description

TwoLittleFishies HydroCarbon 2 G.A.C. is a granulated activated carbon designed specifically for the purification of water. It is manufactured by steam activation and acid washing of a special Lignite material under carefully controlled conditions to produce an activated carbon most suitable for aquariums. Since it is extremely porous and positively does not leach phosphates that can stimulate the growth of algae. It has a very low ash content and therefore hardly affects pH.

HydroCarbon 2 G.A.C. has a wide range of pore sizes and large pore volume that provide a rapid adsorption rate plus a high capacity for dissolved organic compounds. It has the highest capacity for removing water-yellowing tannic and humic compounds of any commercial water activated carbon, and adsorbs both large and small molecular pollutants, including defensive substances released into the water by soft and stony corals.

The macroporous structure of HydroCarbon 2 G.A.C. also affords a high ability to resist clogging that can interfere with the adsorption of dissolved organic substances. The granules are the optimum uniform size for use in high capacity filters, allowing even-flow of water at high velocity with minimal back pressure.

HydroCarbon 2 G.A.C. has a long useful life. After months of use it also becomes a very active biological filtration community full of beneficial bacteria and microorganisms. It can thus be used as a biological nitrification , denitrification media, or to seed new aquariums with active bacteria cultures.

Excellent!

Crystal clear water by Mark Wuestenberg

Posted on 6/10/2007

Comments: After just 24 hours everything seems to come alive. Like a plant being watered that needs water. I even had a tini starfish on the carbon bag like it wanted in there. 1/2 cup per 50 gallons. Try it!
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great

Awesome carbon by Mike

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 12/27/2007

Comments: This is some of the best carbon out there. I only give it 4 stars though simply because it's SOOOO dusty! I was rinsing it out in my utility sink for quite some time to get a lot of the dust out. You may want to use a mask of some type to avoid breathing in the carbon dust. I blew my nose and although this sounds gross, carbon dust came out! Other than that, my tank is crystal clear!
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
