BlackLabelCarling Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Activated carbon would remove the color. The main ingredient is Acriflavine which is slightly yellow so API probably adds a bit of colorant to make it a more appealing green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were doing it I would use a mesh bag with activated charcoal and put it at the bottom of the tank, it can even be buried in the substrate. I would for an aquarium maintenance comp so I make my own with bulk materials, but here is a link to what carbon bags look like just for reference but there are definitely cheaper ones: https://www.amazon.com/NTnormal-Activated-Charcoal-Aquarium-Canister/dp/B00WW42ZS2 Also lots of small water changes will help too.

Danny LeVeck Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 So this works as well? I can put it directly in the tank? How long does it last? Also, does it help lower nitrates by chance?
