For best results:
Remove any fines, by rinsing Carbon under tap water.
Due to air trapped in the pores Carbon will float, and therefore it is recommended to soak the Carbon in RO water until all of the air has been released.
Place the Carbon in a location with an active flow of 1000-1500 lph (250-400 gph) per 50g carbon.
Replace Carbon every 1.5 – 2 months. Note: When Carbon becomes saturated with organics, it may start adsorbing some of the trace elements from the seawater.
Usage guide:
Organic load & yellow tint removal: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC Carbon is approximately 50g (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 100g (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 50g 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.
