Active Carb (500 ml) High Performance Steam Activated Carbon - NYOS

Experience professional-grade water clarity with Nyos Active Carb. This premium, steam-activated carbon is engineered specifically for the delicate environments of reef, marine, and freshwater aquariums. Unlike standard carbons that can leach unwanted elements, Nyos Active Carb is meticulously processed to ensure it remains pH-neutral while providing an exceptionally high surface area for maximum adsorption.

Why Choose Nyos Active Carb?

In a closed aquatic system, organic pollutants and chemical warfare between corals (allelopathy) can lead to yellowing water, stunted growth, and unpleasant odors. Nyos Active Carb acts as a high-capacity chemical sponge to restore the purity of your aquarium.

• Superior Adsorption Power: Boasts an extremely high binding capacity to trap and lock away organic pollutants, medications, and dissolved organic compounds (DOCs).

• Crystal Clear Results: Rapidly removes yellowing substances (humic acids) and cloudiness, allowing your lighting to penetrate deeper and your colors to pop.

• Chemical Safety: Effectively neutralizes nettle toxins released by corals and removes irritating odors, creating a safer environment for sensitive inhabitants.

• Low Leaching Profile: Specially selected and processed to be very low in phosphate and heavy metals, preventing the common "phosphate spike" associated with lower-quality carbons.

• pH-Neutral: Steam-activated to ensure it does not fluctuate the alkalinity or pH levels of your aquarium.

Technical Specifications & Dosage

• Material: High-quality, steam-activated carbon pellets.

• Compatibility: Marine, Reef, and Freshwater systems.

• Available Sizes: 250ml (8.5 oz) | 500ml (17 oz) | 1,000ml (34 oz)

Dosage Recommendations:

• General Use: 500ml – 1,000ml per 1,000 liters (approx. 250 gallons) of aquarium volume.

• Adjustment: Increase or decrease based on the bio-load of the tank and the presence of yellowing substances.

Application Tips

• Rinse Before Use: Briefly rinse the carbon with RO/DI or aquarium water to remove any fine dust caused by transport.

• Active Filtration: For maximum efficiency, use in a fluidized media reactor (like the Nyos TORQ®). This ensures constant water contact with the entire surface area of the carbon.

• Passive Filtration: Can also be used in a fine-mesh filter bag placed in a high-flow area of the sump or back chamber of an All-In-One (AIO) tank.

• Replacement Cycle: For optimal performance, replace every 4 weeks or sooner if water begins to show a slight yellow tint.
