The AquaFX Chloramine Blaster Carbon Refill is a highly specialized filtration media designed for advanced water purification in saltwater aquarium RO/DI systems. This high-grade carbon is engineered to effectively remove or significantly reduce chlorine, ammonia, and particularly chloramine from your tap water supply. With municipalities increasingly using ammonia to stabilize chlorine, this refill ensures that these potentially harmful compounds, including toxic ammonia, are thoroughly eliminated before reaching your sensitive reef environment.

This refill comes in a convenient 1.0 cubic foot package, weighing 1.2 pounds, providing the precise amount needed to fill one AquaFX Chloramine Blaster cartridge. The carbon is acid washed and pH buffered, further enhancing its suitability for aquarium use. Its effectiveness stems from a high degree of catalytic redox activity and an extremely large surface area, both critical for the efficient breakdown and removal of chloramine. For optimal performance and to prevent channeling, it is recommended to pack the carbon loosely within the filter cartridge, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of space at the top.

This carbon refill is an indispensable product for dedicated reef aquarists, especially those in areas where chloramines are present in their municipal water. By guaranteeing the elimination of chlorine, ammonia, and chloramines, it safeguards delicate corals, fish, and invertebrates from stress and potential health issues, while also preventing common problems like nuisance algae. It is perfect for maintaining the pristine water quality essential for mixing saltwater, performing water changes, and replenishing evaporated water, thereby contributing to a thriving and stable reef ecosystem.
