• Activated carbon in a marine aquarium

  • Phyllis

I would like to know your opinion on the use of coal in reef and mixed aquariums (I'm not asking about fish tanks, that's obvious).

He is in Ase every day from 6 PM to 8 PM. The number is in the profile. More than 200 messages on the forum in a day! Sometimes I dig through a bunch of pages myself before I reach my goal. A person is working - you have to understand...

Christopher

and in response, silence... maybe the person is really busy, but sorry, such a question, such an answer. So what do you actually want to know about activated carbon in a reef aquarium?

Lisa

A normal question. I'm just interested in a point of view based on personal experience, as opinions on this matter vary—what is more in a reef aquarium from coal, harm or benefit?

Andrew9581

Well, everything seems clear about the benefits, but what harm do you mean?

Activated carbon in a marine aquarium lowers pH. This is its only drawback. Activated carbon from coconut shells can be used in marine aquariums. This is indicated on the branded packaging of the carbon. Its cost is about four times higher than that of regular carbon. I tried using carbon from the company Hobby. I did not notice any harm.

Gentlemen! Enlighten the ignorant... Is it possible to use coal of brands BAU-A, OU-A in aquariums? It is available for sale at the office that trades in various chemical reagents. Sincerely - .

Jasmine

Feel free to use BAU-A! Especially if it is produced by Perm LHK. Before use, like any other coal, it should be thoroughly washed with running water to remove dust. And make sure to change it in time. OU-A is not suitable; it is a fine-dispersed coal powder used for clarifying wines.

Thank you for clarifying my doubts. I now know for sure what to do next. Sincerely - Yours.
