Carbon's adsorption capacity runs out well before it looks exhausted, and once full it can start releasing what it's captured back into the water — so it's worth working to the schedule rather than judging by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the carbon cartridge only.

Once its adsorption capacity is used up, it needs replacing rather than cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fluval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293298049315,"sku":"FLC01C","price":10.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/fluval-c2-hang-on-filter-car-46120695038243.webp?v=1790240280","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/fluval-c2-hang-on-filter-carbon","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
