Coconut-shell carbon has an extremely fine pore structure that is excellent at trapping smaller organic molecules, but many larger organics are simply too big to reach most of its surface. Organic-scavenger resin fills that gap: its large open pores and charged surface capture bigger, negatively charged organics, including the humic-type compounds that tint aquarium water yellow. Together, the two media remove a broader range of dissolved organics than carbon alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eremoves odor-causing compounds, pesticides, herbicides, and many medications and dyes after treatment.
