Activated Carbon Wessper CarboActive 1 L — aquarium filtration media, granular adsorbent

Wessper CarboActive 1 L is a granular activated carbon designed for aquarium filtration. Supplied as a 1-liter volume of high-surface-area carbon granules, it adsorbs dissolved organic compounds, reduces discoloration and minimizes odors in both freshwater and marine aquaria. The product is intended for placement in filter cartridges, canister filters or media bags and is compatible with standard aquarium filtration systems to help maintain water clarity and support overall filter efficiency.

Advantages

The granular form allows for even water flow and efficient contact between aquarium water and carbon surface, promoting rapid adsorption of organic contaminants and tannins that cause yellowing. CarboActive helps reduce trace impurities that can interfere with biological processes in the filter and contributes to improved visual clarity without altering water chemistry. Its neutral composition means it does not release substances that affect pH when used as directed.

Suitable for

• Removal of discoloration and tannins in freshwater and marine aquaria
• Reduction of dissolved organic compounds and odors
• Placement in filter cartridges, canisters or media bags for regular maintenance
• Short-term polishing of water following medication or algae treatments

Key specifications

• Form: granular activated carbon
• Volume: 1 liter
• Application: aquarium filtration media for freshwater and marine tanks
• Compatibility: suitable for use in cartridges, canister filters and media bags
• Effect: adsorption of dissolved organic compounds, color and odors

How to use

Rinse the required amount of CarboActive briefly with dechlorinated water to remove dust before use. Place the granules into a suitable filter cartridge, media bag or the dedicated chamber of a canister filter, ensuring even distribution to allow uniform water flow. For routine maintenance, replace the carbon every 2–4 weeks or sooner if discoloration and odors persist; after medication or chemical treatments, replace immediately to remove residual compounds. Follow standard aquarium maintenance procedures when handling filtration media.

Usage recommendations

Use CarboActive during regular filtration cycles for water polishing and clarity; avoid continuous use when biological stabilization is required, for example immediately after setting up a new tank, because activated carbon can remove trace elements and medication residues. Replace the media regularly and monitor water parameters to ensure stable conditions.
