Our take on the Marine Pure

MarinePure Biofilter Media Spheres are a ceramic biological filter medium from CerMedia, sold as 1.5-inch spheres in a 2-quart quantity. Their open, interconnected pores let water flow through the media rather than around it, so a thin bio-film forms and sheds without clogging. They fit sumps, canister filters, trickle and shower filters, waterfall filters and hang-on-back filters. Reef and fish keepers use them to convert ammonia and nitrite and to lower nitrate, and they compete with sintered glass and plastic bio-balls on surface area and clog resistance.

About the Marine Pure

MarinePure Biofilter Media by CerMedia is a biological filter media for aquariums. These 1.5-inch spheres come in a 2-quart size. The media gives beneficial bacteria a surface to grow and multiply on.

It removes ammonia and nitrites from aquarium water and reduces nitrate levels. This helps fish waste and other harmful waste break down more readily, which makes for a cleaner tank environment.

The surface is porous, with open, interconnected holes that allow a thin bio-film to form. The bio-film provides nutrients for beneficial bacteria. Water flows through the media rather than around it, so the bio-film can recycle and replenish without clogging the pores.

Questions and answers

How much media do I need for my tank?
Use enough to fill the biological chamber of your sump or filter, leaving room for water flow. More media supports more bacteria, but flow through it matters as much as volume.
Can I cut the spheres to fit?
Yes, the media is designed to be shaped. Expect some dust and crumbs when cutting, and rinse before placing it in the tank.
Does it work in freshwater tanks?
Yes. The same ammonia- and nitrite-processing bacteria colonize it in freshwater, though reef and saltwater keepers are its main users.
How do I seed it with bacteria?
Place it in a running, cycled system or dose a bacterial starter. Colonization takes weeks, so do not rely on it for immediate filtration.
How do I clean it?
Rinse gently in tank water during maintenance to remove debris without killing the bio-film. Avoid tap water and harsh scrubbing.
Is it better than plastic bio-balls?
It offers far more usable surface area and resists clogging better, but it is heavier and can crumble. Plastic balls are lighter and cheaper but support less bacteria.
Where is the Marine Pure cheapest?
At Amazon, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Marine Pure?
