EHEIM AKTIV 1120g ≈ 2l + net bag filter media

EHEIM ACTIVE is a premium filter carbon that delivers exceptional performance, particularly after administering medications.

Adsorptive filter media work by accumulating harmful substances from the water, as opposed to absorbing them. These media effectively eliminate chlorine from tap water, medication residues, and traces of cleaning agents, pesticides, dyes, and more.

Tip: It’s advisable to utilize adsorptive filter media for a limited duration, ideally a few weeks. Since these harmful substances merely adhere to the media, they can eventually leach back into the water. Regular replacement is essential. Typically, adsorptive filtering is only required during the initial setup phase of the aquarium or following medication treatment.

EHEIM AKTIV is a highly efficient active filter carbon especially designed for use after medication treatments. It is acid-washed and activated for optimal water absorption, boasting an active surface area of 1200 m²/g. This activated carbon rapidly binds chemical contaminants such as pesticides, medication residues, and various other substances, ensuring that your aquarium water remains crystal clear. It is especially crucial to employ this product after treating aquarium inhabitants with medications.

EHEIM AKTIV should be utilized for a limited timeframe (approximately 4 weeks) before being removed or replaced. In the filter's layered structure, EHEIM AKTIV is positioned directly after the mechanical filter media (such as EHEIM MECH or MECHpro) and the biological filter media (like SUBSTRATpro) within the provided net bag.
