Red Sea Reef Spec Carbon
Red Sea Reef Spec Carbon is a premium-grade activated carbon specifically designed for marine and reef aquariums. Its optimal granule size and advanced micro/macro porous structure provide a high total adsorption capacity and rapid removal of organic pollutants commonly found in reef environments. With extremely low phosphate leaching, minimal ash content, and no impact on pH, Reef-Spec Carbon delivers clean, crystal-clear water without compromising water chemistry. Its superior efficiency means it requires less frequent replacement compared to lower-grade alternatives, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for maintaining the highest water quality in marine and reef systems.
Main features:
- Rapid removal of organic pollutants
- High total adsorption capacity
- Ultra-Low phosphate output
- Ultra-Low ash content
- Suitable for Marine & Freshwater
- Filter Bag included( 250g, 500g, 1000g)

Usage Guide
Organic load and yellow tint removal: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF SPEC Carbon is approximately 50 gr (100 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of 1-2 months for a moderately stocked reef aquarium.
Post-medication treatment: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF SPEC Carbon to adsorb medication residuals is approximately 100 gr (200 ml) per 200 L (50 gallons) for a period of a week.
Ozone post-treatment: The recommended dosage of Red Sea’s REEF SPEC Carbon to remove residual ozone is 50 gr per 50mg/hr of ozone injection. The carbon should be placed at the ozone reactor/ protein skimmer outlet. Carbon should be replaced once it has reached approximately 50% of its original volume.
