Saltwater Correct Virgin Bituminous Activated Carbon is NOT an acid washed carbon, especially with phosphoric acid which can leach PHOSPHATES into your water. Saltwater Correct Virgin Bituminous Activated Carbon is made from virgin bituminous activated carbon and is made from the highest select grade of virgin bituminous coal and is specifically designed to be used in all aquarium applications. Saltwater Correct Virgin Bituminous Activated Carbon has a high adsorption capacity, low 8% ash content and maintains high resistance to mechanical degradation. Get Tanked Aquariums tested many different types of activated carbon on our then 14 independent coral reef systems. By having 14 independent coral reef set-ups, we were able to see the differences for each type of activated carbon that we experimented with. From our experiments, we found that the heavier (GAC) granular activated carbon does not last as long as the lighter weight (GAC) granular activated carbon, reason being the heavier (GAC) granular activated carbon is, the more dense it will be. The more density (GAC) granular activated carbon has, the more solid it is, the less porous it will be. It's the pores that does all the work making your aquarium water crystal clear. Using a lighter weight (GAC) granular activated carbon means the more porous it will be and the more work it can do at keeping your aquarium water in pristine condition. The size of each carbon granular does matter. The smaller each carbon granular is, the more surface area it will have. The smaller the carbon granular are, equates to smaller voids in the carbon pile, remember water will always take the path of least resistance. Smaller voids in the carbon pile means more water is apt to go thru the carbon particles and less thru the voids. The opposite happens when using larger carbon particles, the bigger the carbon particles are in the carbon column, the bigger the voids are, hence, more water will go thru the carbon voids rather then thru the carbon particles. Remember water will always take the path of least resistance.
