If allowed to accumulate, these organics fuel unwanted microorganisms, increase oxygen demand, and reduce light penetration—specifically in the blue and UV spectrum crucial for coral growth. By using adsorption, this carbon removes organic molecules that are too small for even the finest mechanical filters or protein skimmers to catch.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage Tips \u0026amp; Best Practices\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove any fines by rinsing carbon under tap water before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak in RO water until all trapped air has been released to prevent floating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace in a location with an active flow of 1000-1500 lph (250-400 gph) per 50g of carbon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace every 1.5 – 2 months for best results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic load \u0026amp; yellow tint removal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 50g (100 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for 1-2 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-medication treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 100g (200 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for one week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOzone post-treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50g per 50mg\/hr of ozone injection at the reactor\/skimmer outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Red Sea","offers":[{"title":"200ml","offer_id":56308475003259,"sku":"R37402","price":7.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ml","offer_id":56308475036027,"sku":"R37405","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":56308475068795,"sku":"R37410","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2000ml","offer_id":56308475101563,"sku":"R37420","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6387\/6487\/products\/red-sea-reef-spec-carbon-500ml-302035.jpg?v=1731257110","url":"https:\/\/charterhouse-aquatics.com\/products\/red-sea-reef-spec-carbon","provider":"Charterhouse Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
