The media’s composition is similar to natural rock formations. MarinePure provides approximately 150,000 sq. Ft per cu. Ft (510 m2/L) of accessible surface area. MarinePure Biofilter Media creates a stable home for a dense population of beneficial bacteria that remove ammonia and nitrites from your aquarium. Some systems will also see a decrease in nitrates. MarinePure Biofilter Media will work in sumps, trickle filters, wet/dry filters, hang on the back filters or directly in the tank.

1½” Marinepure Sphere: 240 sq ft
8"x8"x1” Marinepure Block: 5,750 sq ft

Marine Pure Spheres are small, spherical filtration media for use in canister and similar filtration systems. Perfect replacement for bioballs. They are available in 1½” diameters.
• over 100 times the surface area per cubic inch than any other biomedia such as bioballs
• Stays wet during power outages or pump failure which will keep your nitrating bacteria alive
• Perfect area for copepods and amphipods to thrive and reproduce
• Wet-dry filters
Blocks & Plates
MarinePure is also available as 9”x9”x1” Plates or 9”x9”x4” Blocks.
• Add to existing tank set ups for additional filtration, simply set the block down in your sump
• Place under gravel bed for new tank set up

Cermedia recommends using a least 1 quart of Spheres to eliminate ammonia and nitrate from marine aquariums. The spheres will also reduce nitrate but we recommend using the 4 x 4 x 8 blocks to further reduce nitrate.
