Achieve breathtaking water clarity and a clean, healthy aquatic environment with XINYOU Super Active Carbon (XY-5.0). This premium, heat-activated, coal-based filter media is engineered with a massive surface area and highly porous tissue structure, providing superior chemical filtration capability for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It works by a process called adsorption, where contaminants are trapped within its microscopic pores.

Uses & Key Benefits:

• Removes Odors and Discoloration: Rapidly eliminates foul smells and unsightly yellowing caused by organic substances, tannins, and food coloring, leaving your water polished and crystal clear.

• Detoxifies Water: Effectively adsorbs and removes harmful organic substances, residual chlorine from tap water, and certain heavy metals that can be detrimental to fish health.

• Chemically Inert and pH Neutral: The carbon has a neutral pH value, making it safe and essential for use in both sensitive freshwater and marine setups without altering water chemistry.

• High Performance (XY-5.0 Formula): Designed to remain active longer than ordinary activated carbons, offering prolonged effectiveness.

• Easy to Use: Comes in a convenient 300g pack with a net bag included for simple placement in most filter types (canister, hang-on-back, sumps).

🛠️ Installation and Safety Precautions:

• Initial Rinse (Mandatory): Before placing the carbon into your filter, thoroughly rinse it with clean water to remove any fine dust and particles that could cause initial cloudiness in the aquarium.

• Placement: For maximum longevity and effectiveness, always place the active carbon after mechanical filtration (like filter floss or sponges) in your filter to prevent large debris from clogging the pores.

• Medication Warning: Always remove the active carbon from your filter when administering any liquid medication or chemical treatments to your aquarium, as the carbon will rapidly adsorb and remove the medication, rendering the treatment ineffective.

• Regular Replacement (Safety Mechanism): Active carbon has a finite lifespan; once its pores are saturated with contaminants, it stops working. For continuous, effective water quality maintenance, replace the carbon every 2 to 4 weeks. Do not overuse; stick to recommended amounts to avoid removing trace elements needed by plants and invertebrates.
