Product information "Carb L"

 CARB L

HIGH-PURITY, STEAM-ACTIVATED, WASHED HIGH-ACTIVE FILTER CARBON

Carb L is a long-term activated carbon designed for extended use in reef aquariums. It is a high-purity, steam-activated, washed high-active filter carbon made from the finest raw material for carbon: lignin.

  • effectively removes yellow substances, turbidity, protein compounds, and harmful nematocysts
  • ensures crystal-clear water
  • supports the care and cleanliness of our aquarium systems
  • Carb L is extremely low in phosphate and highly effective in its binding capacity
  • ideal for long-term use
  • should be replaced after 3-4 weeks
  • suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums
  • cleans the water without being too aggressive or significantly altering the pH level

Continuous filtration with Carb L (high-purity activated pellet carbon) is a cornerstone of the Zeo-Light system. Carb L is used as "long-term carbon" and is suitable for maintaining sensitive SPS and LPS corals. Filtration using activated carbon keeps the water crystal-clear—phenols, protein compounds, dyes, and nematocysts are filtered out and neutralized.

Dosage:

  • 300 g of Carb L per 1000 liters of water using a fluidized bed method
  • Maximum flow rate: 200 liters/hour
  • 500 g of Carb L per 1000 liters of water when using a filter bag or nylon stocking

Replacement Interval:

  • Replace the carbon every 3–4 weeks, alternating with the bi-weekly zeolite change.

Preparation Before Use:

  • Pour hot water over Carb L one day before use and let it sit in water for 24 hours.
