BLACK DIAMOND
™
Premium Activated Carbon…
ONLY FROM MARINELAND!
Previously sold under the Magnum name, Black Diamond eliminates foul
odors, unsightly discoloration and harmful organic substances to keep
aquarium water healthy and sparking long after other carbons quit. Its
heat-activated bituminous coal-based granules are larger (so they won’t
damage filter impellers), stronger and far more efficient than inferior
coconut, wood or peat-based carbons.
And with Black Diamond, you get more. Because while as
much as 60% of other “prewashed” carbon weight is
water, Black Diamond contains less than 2% moisture.
More carbon, better value
.
• Ideal for all filtration needs
• Up to 3 times more effective than other carbons
• Phosphate free
NOW AVAILABLE IN NEW RESEALABLE
8 oz., 16 oz., 36 oz., and 68 oz. CONTAINERS.
