While most of the carbon sold for fish tanks is actually designed to treat air, Crystal Cal Granular Activated Carbon is washed and steam-activated to treat aquarium water, specifically. Unlike other common carbons or charcoals which can have high levels of contaminants that can leach into water, our carbon has low levels of dust and impurity extractables.
