Activated Carbon Filter AK

In the aquarium pollutants may accumulate. Not all substances are degradated biologically. Some of these substance are tannins and their acids, that get apparent by a yellow colour of the water. Coral toxines are also inert matters and may harm other animals.

Especially lovers of crust anemones (Palythoa spec.) must pay particular attention to the very toxic palytoxin. Direct contact, ingestion or inhalation of aerosols contaminated with palytoxin is extremely dangerous. Activated carbon is a safe protection to reduce the concentration in open water (and thus also in the aerosols). There's no antidote to neutralize the palytoxin!

The activated carbon filter AK adsorbs these substances and realized clear and toxin-free water.

The AK filter has following advantages:

• easy filling
• automatically de-aeration
• suitable for pellet and other carbon
• easy mounting
• no washing out
• high water flows possible
• removes oxidizing agents like chlorine, ozone
• removes organic substances like tannins, nettle toxins, rests of medicine

For very large aquaria there are the industrial versions of the pressureless activated carbon filter.
