AquaForest AF Carbon 1L
AquaForest AF Carbon is a high-quality, steam-activated carbon granulate designed to improve water quality in freshwater aquariums. Its high porosity and large adsorption capacity help bind and remove unwanted chemicals, contaminants, heavy metals and medication residues from aquarium water.
Unlike phosphate-activated carbon, AF Carbon is activated using steam and does not release phosphate into the aquarium water. This makes it a useful filtration medium when you need to remove unwanted substances while improving water clarity.
AF Carbon is particularly useful during aquarium maturation, after fish treatments, or whenever unwanted substances are present in the tank.

AF Carbon is particularly useful following fish treatments, helping remove residual medication from the aquarium water.
Helps Remove Heavy Metals
The porous carbon media can bind heavy metals and other unwanted compounds, supporting improved water quality.
Phosphate-Free Activation
AF Carbon is activated using steam rather than phosphoric acid, meaning it does not release phosphate into the aquarium water.
How to Use
Place AF Carbon in the aquarium's filter basket where water can flow through the media.
Recommended contact time:
Use the product in the filter for 72 hours.
AF Carbon has a high adsorption capacity and can also remove essential elements from aquarium water, so long-term continuous use is not recommended.
Efficiency
1 litre treats up to 600 litres of aquarium water.
When to Use AF Carbon
AF Carbon is especially useful:
- During aquarium maturation
- After treating fish with medication
- When unwanted chemicals or substances are present
- When aquarium water becomes unclear
- As part of short-term chemical filtration
Important Information
- For aquarium use only.
