Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

To get the absolute best performance from your Xinyou Activated Carbon Sponge, follow these simple best practices:

• Custom Fit: Measure the media tray or compartment of your specific filter and cut the sponge to the exact size needed.

• Pre-Rinse: Always rinse the sponge thoroughly under running tap water before placing it in your aquarium to remove any loose carbon dust.

• Strategic Placement: For the best results, place this sponge after your primary mechanical filtration (like a coarse sponge or filter wool) but before your biological media (like ceramic rings). This prevents the carbon pores from getting clogged by large solid waste.

• Medication Warning: Always remove this carbon sponge from your filter before treating your aquarium with liquid medications, as the active carbon atoms will absorb the medicine and render the treatment ineffective.

• Routine Replacement: Because activated carbon eventually exhausts its chemical absorption capacity, it is recommended to replace this sponge every 3 to 4 weeks depending on your tank's bioload.
