Activated carbon filtration (AC) is effective in reducing certain organic chemicals and chlorine in
water. It can also reduce the quantity of lead in water although most lead-reducing systems use another filter medium in addition to carbon. Water is passed through granular or block carbon material to reduce toxic compounds as well as harmless taste and odor-producing chemicals. The study examined the use of granular activated carbon (GAC) pre-treatment for minimization of seawater contents and removal of organic micro pollutants.

In this study GAC is used as pre-treatment for making drinking water out of seawater. TDS, Magnesium, Sodium Sulphate and Calcium carbonate, present in seawater, was reduced by approximately half .
How the results of this experiment can be combined with the use of GAC in reefaquaria? Is it an other type of GAC we use in seawater aquaria?
