Description
The MarinePure Plate is a premium biological filtration media widely used in aquariums and ponds for supporting healthy bacteria growth, which plays a critical role in maintaining water quality. It is designed to maximize surface area for bacteria colonization, helping to efficiently break down harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates. The porous structure of the MarinePure Plate provides ample space for beneficial bacteria to thrive, enhancing the biological filtration process.
Specifications of the MarinePure Plate:
- Material: Ceramic-based with an open-pore structure.
- Dimensions: Typically comes in a 8″ x 8″ x 1″ size.
- Surface Area: Extremely high surface area per volume (roughly 96,000 sq ft per cubic foot) provides a large amount of space for bacteria colonization.
- Biological Filtration Capacity: A single plate can support tanks up to around 700 gallons for biological filtration.
- Durability: Extremely durable and long-lasting; can be used for years without degrading.
- Safe for Use: In both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as ponds.
Benefits for Use in Hang-on-Back (HOB) Filters:
The MarinePure Plate is especially great for use in hang-on-back (HOB) filters due to its slim profile, making it easy to fit within the filter compartments. It maximizes biological filtration in a compact space, which is ideal for small to medium aquariums using HOB filters. It effectively reduces ammonia and nitrite levels, helping to maintain stable water conditions with minimal maintenance.
In summary, the MarinePure Plate’s high efficiency, compact size, and long-lasting durability make it an excellent choice for aquarium hobbyists, particularly those using hang-on filters, to enhance biological filtration.
