marine pure

I am getting back in the hobby. I have had several Fowlr tanks before my last being a 220 oceanic. Been about 5 or so years since I disassembled it. I have a 374 gallon acrylic tank that I am finalizing with the builder (envision acrylics) as well as a big 5’x18”x18” wet dry trickle filter with...

I know this has been touched on but I have a couple specific questions I haven't seen directly addressed. So I test triton ICP every 3-5 months. Tank is 5 years old and I've never had any of the metals show positive. Since buying the bio brick 3 months ago my Aluminum is now 80. I have since...

I would like to start a poll and see what R2R likes and uses. I would like to add some media to my new tank R 650P man made rock with NSA scape and sand but fell like i could use some bio media in the sump. what I am looking for is very pours so I dont have the classic pile of rock in the...

I recently upgraded to a 125Long, with the trigger system triton 44 sump. In my last tank I had some marine pure blocks in the sump. Due to an ick outbreak the tank has since been fallow and I’ll be waiting 3 months before moving any live rock or marine pure to the new tank. Is marine pure...

So I’ve done some more research into media for tanks. And ran into claims marine pure leeches aluminium into the water especially if moved. Does anyone have experience with this? And are the mantis blocks a good alternative?

Hi there R2R community, some stuff accumulated over my last upgrade, prices include the pp fees and shipping, most items were used under a year unless different specified, thanks and good luck : -Aquamaxx FC-80 skimmer $140, -IM Chaeto Max Led $40 -Zen Reef 48 frags holder $45 -Marine Pure Tile...

So... I just noticed this marine pure block covered in vermetid snails. See photo below. I pulled it out of my sump and plan on drying it out to kill them all. Thank god I have another block. Only 2 new juvi clowns and a minor CUC in my tank - So hopefully the bioload is still manageable. This...

My LFS guy tells me that these are great in the beginning but after a while the bacteria in the Marine Pure becomes toxic. He tells me also that he miracle mud also becomes toxic, like a sand bed that doesn’t get stirred. Any validity here? I’ve had a box of the spheres in my sump for about 3...

Hey everyone. Our 1st RAP NY was a big success and it was great seeing everyone at the show. Matt and I are back in the office and happy to announce some new products that you can read about on the Aquarium Specialty Blog. Please take a look to see our latests announcements. Thanks to the...

Hello R2R! Up until now, I've been documenting my tank progress in a forum managed by my local reef club. A few weeks ago, they had an issue with the software and I feared that the content may have been lost. Luckily, the forum is back online with all content intact, but I though it might be...

My plan is to remove the black sponge in my RSR 250 sump. I have rinsed it in the last 30 days. I have 2 1" MarinePure blocks to put in there. Question: Will it be a problem with bacteria population to just pull the sponge and add the blocks or should I keep both in the sump for a while to...

Hi everyone, After reading a lot on this site I decided to go ahead and ask my first question. I'm in the process of setting up a reef tank for the first time, it's currently being converted from fresh water to SW and here in Malta(European Island) I didn't manage to find "Marine Pure" rock...

Hi Everyone, So after 4 years on and off in this hobby ( more off ) and a reasonably successful last 12 months with a signature 600 and then a reefer 170, I now have a Reefer 525xl deluxe model. I have always found threads on tank builds a massive help and hopefully by me documenting my...
