IceCap Carbon Infused Pad

IceCap Carbon Infused Aquarium Filtration Pad (IC-CBP)

The IceCap Carbon Infused Filter Pad (SKU: IC-CBP) is an authentic, multi-tier water-polishing sheet distributed by CoralVue to streamline chemical and mechanical maintenance across freshwater, marine reef, and pond environments. In a closed aquatic ecosystem, free-floating particles—like fish waste, uneaten food flakes, and floating plant decay—cloud the water column and degrade total light penetration. Over time, these trapped organics break down into harmful dissolved nutrients. While standard polyester pads handle larger fragments, they let finer molecular discoloration, yellowing acids, and tank odors pass completely unhindered. The IC-CBP bridges this gap by infusing pulverized active carbon deep into a rigid, non-reactive fibrous web.

Measuring 10 by 18 inches, this heavy-duty pad completely eliminates the need for expensive, pre-shaped proprietary filter replacements. Its thin, flexible, yet structurally sound profile allows you to cut out custom configurations to fit wet/dry trickle trays, external canister filter baskets, hang-on-back power filters, modular media cups, or open sump baffles. As water streams through the dense network of fibers, the mechanical grid isolates large and micro-particulates, while the embedded activated carbon locks down dissolved toxins, yellowing pigments, and fishy odors on contact. Pliable and long-lasting, it serves as an excellent chemical security blanket for maintaining immaculate, odor-free, and crystal-clear water.

Key Features

• Protects Complex Aquarium Lighting: Removing yellow water tint significantly increases the depth penetration of high-end LED reef and planted tank lighting arrays.
• Safe for Delicate Invertebrates: Contains zero chemical binders, heavy glues, or phosphates that could leach out and cause unwanted algae blooms or shock sensitive corals.
• Improves Fish Respiration: Traps physical debris before it can settle and decay into the substrate, preserving high levels of dissolved oxygen within the water column.

Note: This filtration accessory includes one standalone 10x18-inch carbon-infused pad sheet. Custom trimming tools, specialized biological media, and hardware reactors are sold separately.
