Renew is a high-porosity carbon substitute, specially formulated for aquariums where phosphate release from conventional carbons is a concern. It is perfectly suited for reef, planted, marine, and freshwater aquariums.
Less aggressive than traditional activated carbon, Renew effectively controls dissolved organic matter and submicron particles, while preserving some of the beneficial compounds necessary for fish, corals and plants.
It also helps reduce ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates without causing chemical imbalance.
Alternative filter media to activated carbon.
Does not release phosphates.
High porosity for effective organic adsorption.
Preserves essential trace elements and nutrients.
Suitable for reef, planted, marine, and freshwater aquariums.
Does not affect pH.
Renew is used exactly like conventional activated carbon. It is recommended for systems where efficient organic filtration is desired without excessive removal of useful compounds for the ecosystem.
Use 250 ml of Renew for 120 to 160 liters of water.
For optimal performance, place the media in a high-water-flow area, ideally in a suitable filter bag.
Although Renew is clean, a preliminary rinse before use is advised.
The duration of effectiveness is comparable to that of activated carbon, approximately 4 to 6 weeks depending on the tank's organic load.
Renew may partially remove some medications and proteins. For more complete medication removal, a more aggressive media like MatrixCarbon is recommended.
For targeted removal of heavy metals or copper, the use of CupriSorb is preferred.
Volume: 250 ml.
Other formats available: 100 ml, 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L.
Renew Seachem 250 ml is ideal for small to medium-sized aquariums requiring gentle, effective filtration without phosphate release.
