Juwel Carbax

Juwel Carbax

Juwel Carbax is a hard coal-based granulated active charcoal filter medium for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It is designed for aquarium keepers who want to clean and decolourise aquarium water by absorbing odours, turbidity and toxic compounds.

Developed specifically for cleaning and decolourisation of water-based liquids, Juwel Carbax uses fully activated charcoal grains rather than activating only the outside surface of the grain. This allows the filter media to bind unwanted discolouration, odours and toxic substances quickly and for an enduring period, helping to maintain clear-looking aquarium water.
