Description
The MarinePure Block is a highly effective and popular filtration media used in aquariums and ponds to provide excellent biological filtration. Like the MarinePure Plate, the block is designed to maximize surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, which helps break down harmful substances like ammonia and nitrites, making the water safe for aquatic life. However, the MarinePure Block offers even more filtration capacity due to its larger size.
Specifications of the MarinePure Block:
- Material: Porous ceramic with an open-pore structure that allows water and air to pass through, creating optimal conditions for bacteria colonization.
- Dimensions: Typically 8" x 8" x 4", though other sizes are available.
- Surface Area: Offers an enormous surface area (around 240,000 sq ft per cubic foot) for bacteria growth, making it ideal for supporting biological filtration in larger aquariums and ponds.
- Biological Filtration Capacity: One block can effectively handle tanks up to 1600 gallons for biological filtration, which makes it perfect for large systems.
- Durability: Extremely durable and long-lasting, the block is designed to last many years without losing its efficiency.
- Compatibility: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums as well as ponds.
MarinePure Vault: A Perfect Add-On for MarinePure Block
The MarinePure Vault is an excellent complementary product specifically designed to keep the MarinePure Block protected and organized. This vault acts as a secure housing for the block, ensuring that it remains in place and safe from damage while allowing maximum water flow for efficient filtration.
Benefits of the MarinePure Vault:
- Protection: Safeguards the block from accidental breakage or wear, extending its lifespan.
- Organization: Keeps the block neatly contained within the sump or filtration system, preventing it from shifting or floating.
- Flow Optimization: The design ensures that water flows smoothly over and through the block, allowing the bacteria inside to effectively process ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.
- Ease of Use: The vault makes handling the block more convenient, especially during maintenance or when transferring it between different tanks or systems.
In summary, the MarinePure Block offers incredible biological filtration capacity, particularly suited for larger tanks, while the MarinePure Vault serves as an ideal companion to ensure the block is protected and performs at its best for the long term. Together, they form a highly efficient system for maintaining water quality in both saltwater and freshwater setups.
