Fast-Acting & Effective
Crystal Cal Activated Carbon was painstakingly sourced by our partners at Calgon Carbon and is made specifically for aquarium water filtration. It features a sub-bituminous coal base with optimum pore structure to help remove colors, tannins, odors, medications and other common contaminants from aquariums and ponds.
Crystal Cal’s unique fabrication process results in an activated carbon that combines the best of lignite and coal-based carbons for superior removal and mechanical stability. Crystal Cal has a large pore structure, similar to that of lignite carbons, for effective removal of higher molar weight color inducing molecules from aquariums. This effective pore structure is combined with dramatically improved mechanical stability of coal-based granules to resist physical breakdown and dust production results in an ideal product for aquarium use.
Most of the carbon sold for fish tanks is made to treat air, resulting in high levels of contaminants, such as phosphates, which may leach into water. All of our activated carbon is produced to rigorous food and drinking water standards for unparalleled consistency and quality that minimizes harmful trace contaminants. We are proud to say that Crystal Cal has low levels of extractables and dust and is washed and steam activated to higher standards of “Liquid Phase Carbon.”

Common questions about buying open-box and refurbished.
Why buy refurbished or open-box?
Refurbished and open-box products offer the same performance as new at a fraction of the price. You're already saving $28 on this listing. They've been inspected, tested, and are ready to use — the only difference is the price tag. Buying refurbished also reduces electronic waste, extending product life cycles and keeping functional devices out of landfills.
What's the difference between open-box and refurbished?
Open-box products are customer returns that have been inspected and confirmed functional. They may show little to no use — often the item was returned simply because the buyer changed their mind. Refurbished products have been professionally repaired or restored by technicians, tested to meet or exceed manufacturer specifications, and sometimes come with a warranty. Both are a smart alternative to buying new.
Why use OpenBoxFox?
Finding refurbished deals is time-consuming — you'd have to check Amazon Warehouse, Reebelo, Dyson Outlet, and others separately for Kolar Labs products. OpenBoxFox aggregates these listings in one place, so you can compare and find the best deal without the legwork. We update pricing daily so you always see current availability and real savings.
Is it safe to buy refurbished?
Yes. Products listed on OpenBoxFox come from established retailers like Amazon, Reebelo, and Dyson — not unknown third-party sellers. Each retailer has buyer protection policies, return windows, and in some cases warranties. You get the price advantage of used goods with the purchase security of a known retailer.
