It's also what erases yellow tint from the water and restores clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe low-phosphate advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpure carbons can leach phosphate — their POI index sometimes runs as high as 14 — which feeds nuisance algae and interferes with stony coral growth. Pro Carbon posts one of the lowest POI levels in the industry: just 1.3. Less phosphate released, less algae risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes available here: 1,000 ml and 4,000 ml (4 L bulk) — Polyplab also lists 500 ml and 14 L sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance, highly active carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePellet form to reduce dust and fine grains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the lowest phosphate levels in the industry (POI 1.3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDirections per Polyplab\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse Pro Carbon with fresh clean water before use to remove carbon dust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace it between layers of fine filter media, in an area of your sump with strong flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's also perfect for media reactors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyplab does not publish a precise ml\/gallon ratio: adjust the amount to your system volume and replace when performance drops (less clear water, tint returning).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActivated carbon also adsorbs the amino acids and supplements you dose.
