The optimal choice for marine & reef aquariums
REEF-SPEC Carbon is available in four sizes: 100g /3.5 oz, 250g /9 oz, 500g/18 oz, and 1000g/35 oz. Its optimized granule size, combined with a micro- and macro-porous structure, delivers an exceptionally high total adsorption capacity and enables rapid removal of the specific organic pollutants found in reef aquariums.
REEF-SPEC Carbon features extremely low phosphate leaching and minimal ash content, while maintaining a stable pH and not affecting the aquarium water chemistry.
REEF-SPEC Carbon requires less frequent replacement than non-reef-specific or lower-quality carbons, making it a highly effective and cost-efficient solution for maintaining the highest water quality in marine and reef aquariums.

Dosage and Usage Instructions

Organic load & yellow tint removal: 
The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC Carbon is approximately 50 gr (100 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of 1-2 months for a moderately stocked reef aquarium.

Post-medication treatment:
The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC Carbon to adsorb medication residuals is approximately 100 gr (200 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of a week.

Ozone post-treatment:
The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC Carbon to remove residual ozone is 50 gr per 50mg/hr of ozone injection. The carbon should be placed at the ozone reactor/ protein skimmer outlet. Carbon should be replaced once it has reached approximately 50% of its original volume.

The adsorption activity of the Carbon media relies on a good Carbon/water contact, and therefore moderately active water flow will increase the efficiency.

Strong water flow will reduce the contact time and interfere with the adhesion process of the organic molecules to the Carbon.

Strong water flow may also cause the granules to grind against each other, releasing Carbon material to water.

For Best results:
1) Remove any fines, by rinsing Carbon under tap water.
2) Due to air trapped in the pores Carbon will float, and therefore it is recommended to soak the Carbon in RO water until all of the air has been released.
3) Place the Carbon in a location with an active flow of 1000-1500 lph (250-400 gph) per 50 gr carbon.
4) Replace Carbon every 1.5 – 2 months. Note: When Carbon becomes saturated with organics, it may start adsorbing some of the trace elements from the seawater
