Premium, research-grade, low-ash Fluval Carbon is highly porous, providing large amounts of surface area for absorption of impurities present in aquarium water. The inner matrix structure provides a large porous area that permanently traps organic waste while removing liquid wastes such as urine, dyes or many other impurities from the water. The activated carbon effectively removes heavy metals, odors, discolorations, organic contaminants and pollutants to leave your aquarium water crystal clear and sparkling. It does not contain phosphates and will not change the pH of the aquarium water. Fluval Carbon is pure activated carbon that is ideal in both fresh and salt water.
Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

Great addition for filter
Helps keep my water perimeters perfect and balanced. Rinse very well before putting in your filter, until the rinse water runs clear

Great value for my 72 gallon tank but a black mess all day long when first opening
Good god! I run and run and run and run and run and…well, you get the idea. I run this under the water as instructed before adding it to the filter in my tank and NEVER does it stop turning the water black (during the rinsing phase, before I add it to the tank). I wish I knew how long I was supposed to rinse it for and the instructions aren’t clear. It did not, however, seem to turn my tank water black and I can’t help but love the value. I have two of these for my 72 gallon tank (one in each of the two filters) and it seems to be doing the trick!

Good value and trusted brand. Used for a grow tent filter, the 54oz container was perfect amount needed. Used leftover for my turtle tank filter and it clears the water up quick as well. Lots of uses.
