CerMedia MarinePure Ceramic Biofilter Media is available in blocks, plates, spheres, cubes and cartridge form factors.
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.
Surface areas:
1½” Marinepure Sphere: 240 sq ft
8"x8"x1” Marinepure Block: 5,750 sq ft

• 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

Blocks & Plates
MarinePure is also available as 9”x9”x1” Plates or 9”x9”x4” Blocks.

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.
