Reef Zlements Z Reef Carbon

Reef Zlements Z Reef Carbon is a premium activated carbon specifically formulated for aquarium use, providing superior chemical filtration to maintain crystal-clear water and a healthy aquatic environment. Made from carefully selected coconut shell raw materials and processed under stringent conditions, this activated carbon features an exceptionally high surface area and purity.

With an iodine number of 1050 mg/g and a surface area of 1100 m²/g, Reef Zlements Z Reef Carbon excels at adsorbing organic waste, toxins, phenols, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, and other impurities that can compromise water quality. Its low phosphate leaching and high hardness (minimum 99%) make it safe and effective for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums, preventing carbon dust and unwanted nutrient introduction.

The carbon is acid washed and neutralized to remove mineral contaminants, ensuring it meets ISO quality and environmental standards. This results in a product free from magnetic particles and heavy metals, ideal for sensitive reef systems.

Usage is simple: rinse before use to remove fine dust, then place 50g per 200 liters in a reactor with flow rates of 900–1500 LPH, avoiding tumbling to preserve the carbon integrity. For medication or rapid pollutant removal, dosage can be increased. Reef Zlements Z Reef Carbon can also be used passively in filter bags and should be replaced every 1–2 months for optimal performance.

Available in 1L and 2L sizes, this activated carbon supports vibrant coral growth and clearer water by efficiently removing impurities and stabilizing water chemistry. Reef Zlements Z Reef Carbon is trusted by aquarists who demand the highest quality filtration for their reef tanks and freshwater setups.
