Reef Spec Carbon 3742 500ml
Recommended Use
Organic load and yellow tint removal: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC® Carbon is approximately 50 gr (100 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of 1-2 months for a moderately stocked reef aquarium.
Post-medication treatment: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC® Carbon to adsorb medication residuals is approximately 100 gr (200 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of a week.
Ozone post-treatment: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC® Carbon to remove residual ozone is 50 gr per 50mg/hr of ozone injection. The carbon should be placed at the ozone reactor/ protein skimmer outlet. Carbon should be replaced once it has reached approximately 50% of its original volume.
Directions:
Filter media bag
- Insert the recommended amount of carbon into the filter media bag provided. Note: to ensure optimal water movement through the media do not over-pack the bag.
- To remove any fines, rinse the filled bag under tap water.
- To prevent the carbon from floating, immerse the filled bag in RO water until all of the air trapped in the pores has been released.
- In order to maximize efficiency, place the carbon in the filter/sump in an area with high water flow of 1000-1500 Lph (250-400 Gph) per 50 gr of carbon.
Media reactor/ Canister filter
- Insert the recommended amount of carbon between 2 layers of filter floss or synthetic foam.
- To remove any fines from the carbon and to release the air trapped inside the pores it is recommended to flush the reactor with fresh water before returning the reactor to the aquarium/sump.
- For best results adjust the flowrate through the reactor to 1000-1500 Lph (250-400 Gph) per 50 gr of carbon.
