marinepure biomedia

GEO Cryptic Biological Reactor (CBR), loaded with MarinePure ceramic media balls. For those that don't know, a cryptic reactor is used for high-capacity nitrifying filtration. Water passes around and through the media, allowing the beneficial nitrifying bacteria that has colonized the media to...

Say you lived in an alternate universe where reefers had so much extra space in a sump... What would be the argument toward or against filling it to the brim with bio media as opposed to having just enough to serve your bio load? Can too much bimedia cause a problem or challenge? Is more better?

I'm setting up my fug using the Refugium Starter kit from AlgaeBarn. I just got my first shipment today and I'm curious on how to lay these media cubes in the fug section. I have enough cubes to cover the entire bottom of the fug section. Question is: Do I cover the entire bottom with the media...

After being in the hobby for at least a 3 years with softies, zoas, clams, to mixed reef. Now I'm on the journey on setting up an SPS dominated nano tank. I know this will be a lot more challenging, especially with time, patience and money so this will be slow. My goal is to learn about these...

Getting started on this journey. I have been learning whatever I can retain over the past few months. Now I'm ready as ever to take my chance at my first reef tank. I've dreamed of a saltwater aquarium since I was just a little guy so here it goes. My plan is to build a minimal maintenance 40...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the hobby and would like to know if Bio-media placement is crucial. I'm using the Evo 13.5 and would like to know if the bio-media can sit beneath my skimmer in the chamber furthest to the right in this picture (The overflow chamber)...

Does everyone let algae grown on the marine pure plates or do you scrape/sponge it off? I am assuming to keep the 'pores' open I need to get it off...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but do the MarinePure blocks take the place of live rock in the filtration cycle? If so, should I add a 8x8x4 block to sump and buy a few less pounds of dry rock? My tank is a 40B with 20T sump and I had planned on using 40lbs of dry rock, 20lbs of live...

My plan is to remove the black sponge in my RSR 250 sump. I have rinsed it in the last 30 days. I have 2 1" MarinePure blocks to put in there. Question: Will it be a problem with bacteria population to just pull the sponge and add the blocks or should I keep both in the sump for a while to...

I just currently bought a 8” x 8” x 1” Plate MarinePure plate to add to my sump! Just wondering if anyone uses these and where do you have yours placed in your sump? TANK INFO: 120 MIXED REEF
