Do MarinePure blocks work?

MarinePure Blocks do an excellent job in supporting bacteria which remove ammonia and nitrite. Bacteria based Nitrate removal is a little more difficult as it is very system dependent. Any media for this purpose needs to be in an anoxic environment (very low oxygen) and have a carbon source available.

Are bio balls good for reef tank?

Bio Balls can be used in saltwater aquariums but if left uncleaned they easily trap detritus which can lead to high nitrates & phosphates. They provide a large surface area for nitrifying bacteria to colonize however newer technology is available to work more efficiently & require less maintenance.

Results. After roughly four months of testing Seachem Matrix, I am pretty confident to say that it does work to reduce nitrate levels in the aquarium. Though not quite how you might expect it to.

What are bio pellets?

Bio-pellets are a pure and natural carbon dosing approach to reduce nitrates and phosphates to help control algae in fresh and saltwater aquariums. Left unchecked, elevated levels of nitrates, phosphates, and algae can cause extensive harm to fish, coral and other aquarium life.

Do bio balls cause nitrates?

Plastic Bio-Balls are considered “Nitrate Factories” because they do nothing to complete the final stage of the nitrogen cycle, converting nitrates to nitrogen gas. Ceramic bio filter media can take the process to this final step. Ceramic media (including live rock), contains internal surface area.

Can you mix bio media?

You can mix and match all manner of bio media together 🙂 You really don’t need the carbon in there, I’d rather have more ceramic media. You really don’t need the carbon in there, I’d rather have more ceramic media. Got the carbon in there to remove the tannin from the driftwood I’ve got placed in there.
