Aquarium Carbon - Tri Base Pelletized Carbon Filter Media Tube. Duration : 3.15 Mins.
The absolute best aquarium carbon filter media is the Tri Base Pelletized Aquarium Carbon. It has the ability to last up to 5 years when properly maintained, so that means once a month, take it out of your filter and rinse it off. This activated carbon reduces unwanted contaminates and reduces deadly pollutants from aquarium water. High capacity allows for smaller amounts to be used, especially if filter size is limited. Has a high surface are which makes it last longer, more cost effective than other carbons. The available carbon source allows for aerobic reduction of nitrates phosphates and potash from your aquarium. The tri base carbon must be soaked 3 days before use. Then add only 1/2 pound per day. So in this video i took the carbon and put it in a container and filled it with water. Now i am letting it soak for 3 days and before i use it in my aquarium filter, i will rinse it off very very well to remove any fine dust particles.

Coralline Algae in a Saltwater Aquarium Video Clips. Duration : 2.42 Mins.
This 38 gallon tank houses a Flame Angelfish, a Blue Tang, an Ocellaris Clown, a Blenny, a Cleaner Shrimp, and several Hermit Crabs. The live rock has been in this tank at least fifteen years, so the purple coralline algae has had a chance to almost completely encrust the rock. Filtration includes a Bak-Pak skimmer hanging on the back of the tank, and a small power filter with activated carbon. Evaportive water loss is replaced with Kalkwasser.
