EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
Premium Australian Activated Carbon Chemical Filtration System

Animal Wellbeing’s Carbon – Activated Carbon delivers specialised chemical filtration for freshwater aquariums through pure, Australian-made activated carbon. This single-ingredient formula harnesses advanced microporous structure, providing maximum surface area for chemical absorption essential for maintaining crystal-clear water and optimal water quality.

Natural Activated Carbon Benefits:
– Premium Australian Carbon: 100% Australian-sourced activated carbon provides exceptional porous structure with maximum surface area for contaminant absorption
– Superior Porosity: Highly porous activated structure offers thousands of microscopic chambers for chemical adsorption and water purification
– Chemical Filtration: Optimal removal of dissolved organics, medications, odors, discoloration, and harmful chemicals from aquarium water
– Long-Term Effectiveness: Durable activated carbon maintains absorption capacity for 4-6 weeks before requiring replacement
– pH Neutral: Chemically processed material won’t alter water chemistry or pH levels in established aquarium systems
– Natural Purification: Advanced activation process creates maximum surface area for superior water clarity and purity

Microporous Structure Advantages:
– Microscopic Chambers: Thousands of interconnected pores provide maximum absorption surface area
– High Absorption Capacity: Maximum contaminant removal per gram compared to standard carbon media
– Water Flow Optimisation: Porous structure allows optimal water circulation while maximising contact time
– Chemical Attraction: Activated surface chemistry attracts and binds dissolved organics and contaminants

Chemical Filtration Applications
Premium activated carbon excels in canister filters, hang-on-back systems, sump chemical chambers, and media reactors where consistent chemical filtration and water clarity are essential. Ideal for removing medications after treatment, eliminating odors, and maintaining crystal-clear water quality.

Perfect for community tanks, planted aquariums, and all freshwater setups requiring reliable chemical filtration and water purification.

INGREDIENTS
100% Premium Australian Activated Carbon

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Basic Ratio: 100g per 100L aquarium volume or fill chemical filter chamber to capacity

Example measurements:
– 50g Carbon + 50L tank = small aquarium chemical filtration
– 100g Carbon + 100L tank = standard chemical filter setup
– 200g Carbon + 200L tank = large aquarium chemical system

PROCEDURE
Measure required Carbon amount • Rinse gently with aquarium water to remove loose dust • Place in chemical filter chamber or media basket • Position after mechanical and before biological filtration • Replace every 4-6 weeks for optimal effectiveness • Never reuse exhausted carbon • Maintain through regular replacement schedule only

DOSING INSTRUCTIONS
Application specific usage:
– New tank setup: Install after initial cycling period for ongoing water clarity maintenance
– Medication removal: Install after treatment completion to remove residual medications from water column
– Water clarity: Use continuously for crystal-clear water and odor elimination in established systems
– Emergency treatment: Double dosage for rapid contaminant removal in emergency situations
– Maintenance schedule: Replace every 4-6 weeks or when water clarity diminishes
– Adjust volume based on tank size, bioload, and water quality requirements
– Remove during medication treatments to prevent medication absorption

STORAGE (Media)
Store in cool, dry place • Keep container tightly sealed • Avoid direct sunlight • Best stored between 15-25°C • Use within 2-3 years of opening • Check packaging integrity before use • Protect from moisture and contamination

STORAGE (Used Media)
Dispose of exhausted carbon responsibly • Never reuse activated carbon • Remove from filter system after 4-6 weeks • Replace with fresh carbon for continued effectiveness • Do not store used carbon

CAUTION
Rinse gently before first use to remove loose particles • Wash hands thoroughly after handling • Keep out of reach of children • Close container immediately after use • Follow chemical filtration guidelines • For freshwater aquarium use only • Never reuse exhausted carbon • Store away from human food and beverages • Monitor chemical filtration effectiveness regularly • Consult aquarium specialist for specific chemical filtration needs • This is chemical media, not complete filtration system • Remove during medication treatments • Replace regularly for optimal performance • Allow adequate water flow through carbon media • Maintain proper filter maintenance schedule
