Mutiny Blend Granular Activated Carbon

This larger grained carbon has proven to be the most effective at removing ozone and ozone by-products from our Mutiny ozone reactor effluent air and water.  It is suitable for a top-down drip style water flow pattern that our Mutiny carbon post-filter uses.

Our Mutiny Blend is the same granular activated carbon used by the largest manufacturer of aquariums in America. For good reason. Its unique meso-pore size distribution removes colors (tannins), dyes, odors, medication (antibiotics), dissolved organics, heavy metals, chlorine, other toxic compounds, leaving your aquarium smelling fresh and and crystal clear. 

This is a granular activated carbon produced by a high temperature steam activation process under stringent quality control. It has a large surface area, high mechanical hardness, unique pore size distribution, low density and chemical stability. Recommended filter grade carbon for aquarium water purification. This is a coal-based activated carbon.

Contains approximately 3 cups, which is one refill and will last about 2 months under maximum ozone generator usage.

Differences between Bituminous vs. Lignite-activated carbon

There are two popular activated carbons used in the aquatics industry: Bituminous and lignite-activated carbon. We sell and recommend bituminous activated carbon for the Mutiny Ozone Reactors. We prefer Bituminous carbon because of its larger surface area, pore volume for absorption, and lower ash content, which we believe helps increase particulate and ozone removal.
