When it comes to cleaning up your aquarium water, it is easy to think that the majority of the threats to your fish and plant life are visible. This is not true. The greatest threat to your aquarium water`s health is invincible. It is the dissolved chemicals in the water that threaten to make it a toxic stew. There are ways to filter this material out. The most common is through the use of chemical filters. These chemical filters usually involve activated carbon. When your filter runs a large amount of water through a small plastic cylinder, it concentrates the water and passes it through some sort of container that has activated carbon in it.

Activated carbon uses an ion system to grab the toxic chemical`s molecules from the water. This has the effect of cleaning the toxic elements from your aquarium water. Activated carbon is so effective that a large majority of the aquarium filters use this material. However, if you are looking for a more powerful way to remove acid, toxic metals, silicates and phosphates from your water, try Seachem Seagel from Pet Store.
