Is it safe for fish and plants? Yes, carbon-infused pads are generally safe for fish. For planted tanks, be cautious—carbon may remove trace nutrients or fertilizers over time. Can I use carbon pads in both freshwater and saltwater tanks? Yes. Most carbon media pads are suitable for both. How often should I replace the carbon pad? Replace every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on: Water clarity, Bio-load and Tank size. Carbon stops working silently once saturated. Does it remove ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate?
