Seachem HyperSorb™

HyperSorb is a synthetic adsorbent that does the job most people hand to activated carbon: lifting dissolved organic waste and discolouration out of the water.

Key features

• Removes dissolved organics and the yellowing they cause
• A synthetic bead rather than carbon, with no meaningful effect on pH
• Changes colour as it loads, so exhaustion is something you can see rather than guess at
• Regenerable, so a container sees more than one cycle of use
• Suitable for fresh, brackish and marine water

Like carbon, HyperSorb should come out of the filter before you medicate a tank and go back in when treatment is over. An adsorbent cannot tell the difference between waste and medication. Regeneration instructions are printed on the container; follow them exactly, and rinse very thoroughly before the media returns to the aquarium.

Use it in a filter bag in a high-flow chamber. If you would rather run traditional carbon, Matrix Carbon covers similar ground, and both sit with the rest of our water care range. Available for pickup in Lethbridge.
