RENEW 250ML

Renew ™ 250ml SEACHEM

- Phosphate-free carbon substitute
- High pore volume for maximum organic removal
- Ideal for use in planted or marine tanks - does not leach phosphate
- No impact on trace elements and important nutrients

Overview

Renew ™ is ideal for use in systems where the phosphate released by all active carbons is an issue. Renew ™ is also less aggressive than carbon, making it well suited for reefs and planted aquariums. It is also beneficial for use in freshwater aquariums where the pH-elevating property of many carbons is not an asset. Renew ™ will remove organic matter and particles in the submicron range; it will also help control ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates.

Sizes: 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L

Instructions

Renew ™ should be used in exactly the same manner as activated carbon.

Use 250 ml for every 120–160 L (30–40 US gallons).

For best results, Renew ™ should be placed to maximize water flow through it.

Use in a filter bag such as the Zip Bag ™ .

Although Renew ™ is clean, it is advisable to rinse before use.

It lasts about as long as carbon (4–6 weeks).

FAQ

Will Renew ™ remove medications from aquarium water? And how effective is Renew ™ for removing proteins?

Yes, Renew ™ will remove proteins and medications from the water to a limited extent. Renew ™ is an economical source of carbon but if you are looking to remove medications, I would recommend MatrixCarbon ™ or if you are removing heavy metals or copper, use CupriSorb ™ .

I see that MatrixCarbon ™ is more aggressive in filtration and has a higher capacity than Renew ™. In what situations would I want to use Renew ™?

In planted or reef tanks, it can be beneficial to leave some of the organics in the tank so they are available for fish, plants, or corals. In these situations, a media like Renew ™ allows for organic matter control without total depletion as with more aggressive media. Additionally, Renew ™ will not leach any phosphate into the tank, making it excellent for use in situations where phosphates are tightly controlled.
