EHEIM AKTIV, special carbon for aquaball/biopower/aquastyle (content 250ml)
AKTIV by EHEIM
Active filter carbon with a high performance level – especially after treatment with medications
AKTIV by EHEIM is acid washed and activated for automatic water absorption (active surface area 1200 m²/g). Thus, it very quickly binds harmful chemical substances like pesticides, medical treatment residues and other substances and retains them. The water in the aquarium will turn crystal clear. Its use is particularly important after treating the livestock with medications.
AKTIV by EHEIM should only be used for a limited amount of time (ca. 4 weeks) and then removed or replaced.
In the filter’s layering set-up AKTIV by EHEIM should be used directly after the mechanical (e.g. EHEIM MECH or MECHpro) and the biological filter media (e.g. EHEIM SUBSTRATpro) in the net bag provided.
- Active carbon for self-activating adsorption
- Quickly binds chlorine, pesticides and other chemical substances
- Use e.g. after new tank installation or treatment with medications
- Use only for a limited period of time (ca. 4 weeks)
- Suitable for fresh and marine water
advice:
Only use adsorptive filter media for a few weeks, as the harmful substances are only attached and can loosen after some time and be reintroduced into the water. At the very least they should be changed regularly. Normally adsorptive filtration is only necessary during aquarium set-up or after treatments with medications.
