description: Aquarium & Aquaculture Grade CARBOX 830 Coconut shell granular activated carbon. 1100+ m²/g surface area, >95% micropore volume. The 8×30 mesh (0.6–2.3 mm) delivers maximum treatment per pass — sized for fluidisation, retained by 500 micron bags. 1150m²/g Surface Area >95%Micropore Volume 98%Hardness 8×30Mesh · 0.6–2.3 mm NEW1100–1150 m²/g Total Surface Area MICROPORE>95% Micropore Volume · <2nm Pore Size ULTRA HARD55% CTC Activity · 98% Hardness · Very Low Dust ✓ 8×30 Mesh (0.6–2.3 mm) ✓ >95% Micropore Volume ✓ ≥98% Hardness ✓ ≤5% Moisture ✓ ≤8% Ash Content CARBOX830 is a high-performance coconut shell granular activated carbon manufactured via high-temperature steam activation. With >95% micropore volume and pores under 2nm, it excels at adsorbing the small organic molecules that cause discolouration, odour, and dissolved organics in recirculating aquaculture and aquarium systems. The 8×30 mesh (0.6–2.3 mm) delivers high surface area and treatment per pass, excellent fluidisation in reactors, and easy retention in any 500 micron or smaller mesh bag. Why This Carbon The Difference Not all carbon is created equal. Here's why coconut shell GAC outperforms generic carbon in aquaculture and water treatment. 🔬 >95% Micropore Volume Virtually all pore space is sub-2nm micropores. These tiny pores adsorb the small organic molecules (DOC, geosmin, MIB, medication residues, phenols) that cheap, broad-pore carbon misses entirely. ⚡ 1100+ m²/g Surface Area 1100–1150 m²/g total surface area with 55% CTC activity and ≥1050 mg/g iodine number. Every gram has more adsorption sites than most competitors — more contaminant removal per pass. 🛡️ 98% Hardness · Low Dust Industry-leading hardness means less fracturing, fewer fines, and longer bed life. Very low dust means crystal clear water from the first rinse — critical in display aquaria and broodstock systems. 🌊 Perfect 8×30 Mesh Size 0.6–2.3 mm granules — small enough for maximum surface area and treatment per pass, large enough …
