Activated carbon (2 pcs) for Genius aquarium - Blu Bios

Activated carbon acts through adsorption, a physical process that holds unwanted molecules on the porous surface of the material.

It allows you to remove:

• Dissolved organic substances

• Yellow water colors (tannins, pigments)

• Drugs of drugs after therapeutic treatments

• Chlorine and unwanted chemical compounds

• Unpleasant odors

• Phenolic compounds and toxins

The result is a clearer, stable and safe water for fish, plants and invertebrates.

Technical features and properties

Genius activated carbon Blu Bios It is designed to ensure high filtering efficiency and biological safety.

Main features:

• High adsorbent surface thanks to the microporous structure

• High dissolved impurities removal capacity

• Neutral and safe for fauna and aquatic flora

• does not significantly alter the chemical parameters if used correctly

• Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums

• Usable in internal, external and sump filters

The selected granulometry favors a good flow of water avoiding compactments and loss of efficiency.

When to use activated carbon

The use of activated carbon is particularly indicated in the following situations:

• After pharmacological treatments in the tank

• Presence of yellowish or turbid water

• Elimination of unwanted odors

• Removal of residual chemicals

• Improvement of water transparency

• Insertion of natural woods that release tannins

It is not normally necessary to use it permanently in well-balanced aquariums, but represents a fundamental tool in specific situations.

Compatibility with filtration systems

Genius activated carbon Blu Bios can be inserted:

• In the baskets of external filters

• In the sub-funds of the internal filters

• in filter bags inside the filter compartment

• In sump systems of marine aquariums

For an optimal yield it is recommended to position it after mechanical filtration, so that the water arrives already without coarse particles.

Proper use mode

To get the maximum benefit:

• Rinse coal with osmotic water or aquarium before use

• Insert it in a fine knitted filter bag

• Place it in a good water flow area

• replace it every 3-4 weeks or when sold out

Prolonged use beyond the recommended period can reduce adsorbent efficacy.

Benefits for the aquatic ecosystem

A correct use of activated carbon contributes to:

• Improve water transparency

• Reduce potentially toxic substances

• Increase fish comfort and health

• Envert the penetration of light for plants

• Stabilize the aquatic environment

More limpid water also allows a better observation of the aquarium and enhances the aesthetics of the set up.

Safety and recommendations

Activated carbon is safe if used correctly, however it is important:

• Do not use it during liquid fertilization if you want to keep dissolved nutrients

• Remove it during active drug processing (to avoid drug absorption)

• replace it periodically to maintain effectiveness

Always follow a targeted use allows you to get the best results.

Suitable for newborns and experienced aquariums

Genius activated carbon Blu Bios It represents a simple and effective solution even for those approaching aquarium, allowing water quality to quickly improving.

At the same time it is a fundamental tool for experienced aquariums who want to maintain optimal chemical conditions and a high water transparency.
