Product Details
Seachem Renew is a filter media that replaces activated carbon, ideal for controlling ammonia, nitrates and phosphates in reef and planted aquarium. Being phosphate-free, Seachem Renew is a great substitute for carbon filtration media.
Advantages
Renew is ideal for use in systems where phosphate released from all activated carbons poses a problem. Renew is also less aggressive than carbon, making it 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 will remove organics and particulates in the sub-micron range; it will also help control ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates.
Directions
Renew should be used in exactly the same manner as activated carbon. Use 250 mL for each 120-160 L (30-40 US gallons). For best results, Renew should be placed so as to maximise the flow of water through it. Use in a filter bag such as the Zip Bag. Although Renew is clean, it is advisable to rinse before use. It lasts about the same as carbon (4-6 weeks).
FAQ
Will Renew remove medications from aquarium water? And how efficient if renew at removing proteins?
A: Yes, Renew will remove proteins and medications from the water to a limited extent. Renew is an economical source of carbon but if you are looking to pull out medications I would recommend MatrixCarbon or if you are pulling out heavy metals or copper, than use CupriSorb.
I see that MatrixCarbon is more aggressive at filtration and has a higher capacity than Renew. In what situations would I want to use Renew?
A: In planted or reef tanks, it can be advantageous to leave some of the organics in the tank so they are available to fish, plants, or corals. In these situations, a media like Renew allows for control of organics without total depletion as with more aggressive medias. Additionally, Renew will leach no phosphate into the tank at all, which makes it excellent for use in situations where phosphates are being tightly controlled.
