SICCE HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon
HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon is a superior quality activated carbon that is ideal for all marine and freshwater aquaria. HyperCarbo removes dissolved organic material and odors from aquarium water without adversely affecting pH. HyperCarbo's ideal pore size and high porosity provide ample surface area for the removal of ammonia, heavy metals, and phosphates and increases the intervals between water changes. Phosphates and silicates, and suspended particles are quickly removed as water passes over the resin.
HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon high surface area increases the contact time between aquarium water and nitrifying bacteria that populate the carbon pores, thus providing excellent capacity for removing ammonia and other harmful products from fish waste and uneaten food.
The efficiency of HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon is affected by the amount of organic material present, aquarium load, and water conditions. Always perform regular water tests to make accurate assessments of your tank's health.
Instructions: Fill the net bag (included) with the desired amount of HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon and close it with the special seal. Rinse in warm water or with aquarium water to activate the media BEFORE placing into the filter. We recommend changing HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon after 30 days of use.
HyperCarbo High Flow Pelleted Activated Carbon is available in a 100g/3pk.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Recommended for use with SICCE aquarium filters and as well as filters from other manufacturers.
Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
