Description
The MarinePure Pods are small, high-performance bio-media designed to enhance biological filtration in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. These pods provide a vast surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, helping break down harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates. Their compact size makes them ideal for various filtration systems such as sumps, canister filters, hang-on-back filters, and reactors.
How to Use MarinePure Pods:
Using MarinePure Pods is straightforward and highly adaptable for different filtration setups. Here’s how to use them:
- Placement in Filter: Place the pods into the filter, whether it’s a sump, canister filter, or HOB filter. They can be packed into media baskets or used loosely, depending on the available space.
- Water Flow: Ensure the pods are positioned in areas with good water flow, which maximizes contact with the water and allows bacteria to efficiently process waste.
- Maintenance: MarinePure Pods require minimal maintenance. If water flow decreases or debris builds up, simply rinse the pods in aquarium water (not tap water) to protect the beneficial bacteria.
- Seeding Bacteria: To kick-start biological filtration in new aquariums, seed the pods with beneficial bacteria using bacterial supplements, or let them mature in an established system before transferring them.
Available Sizes of MarinePure Pods:
MarinePure Pods come in different package sizes to suit a variety of aquarium volumes and filtration needs. Common packaging options include:
- 1/2-liter container: Suitable for smaller aquariums and compact systems.
- 1-liter container: Ideal for larger tanks needing more filtration capacity.
Additionally, there are specific pod packs designed for different tank sizes:
- 3-Pods Pack: Perfect for aquariums up to 380 liters. This pack provides enough biological filtration for medium-sized tanks.
- 24-Pods Pack: Designed for aquariums up to 2,800 liters, offering substantial filtration capacity for large tanks.
Each pod is approximately the size of a marble or small pebble, making them versatile for tight filter compartments. Their porous design ensures maximum efficiency for bacteria growth, even in small spaces.
Benefits of MarinePure Pods:
- Compact Size: The small size allows the pods to fit easily in various filters, even in setups with limited space.
- High Surface Area: The porous ceramic material offers a large surface area per pod, encouraging a robust bacterial colony.
- Versatility: Suitable for use in sumps, canister filters, HOB filters, and reactors.
- Durability: The pods are long-lasting and do not degrade over time, providing consistent biological filtration.
In summary, MarinePure Pods are an efficient, compact, and versatile bio-media option for both small and large aquariums. With options like the 3-Pods Pack for 380-liter tanks and the 24-Pods Pack for 2,800-liter tanks, these pods ensure stable water quality and promote a healthy aquatic environment.
