Seachem Renew Phosphate Free Carbon Substitute
The Seachem Renew™ Phosphate Free Carbon Substitute is perfect for use in systems where phosphate released from all activated carbons pose a problem. Less aggressive than carbon, Renew™ is well suited for reefs and planted aquaria. It is also beneficial for use in soft water aquaria where the pH-raising property of many carbons is not an asset. Renew™ helps remove organics and particulates in the sub-micron range.

• Use 250 ml for each 120–160 L (30–40 gallons*)
