Filter bricks...

Anyone using filter bricks like Marinpure or Xpor blocks for a skimmer stand? Seems like a viable idea.

I’m putting in my sump as much as I can

I tried a marine pure but the vibration from the skimmer slowly erroded the block as they are very soft

Really that’s good to know

Interesting.... wonder if there's a fix for that? I know the Xpor bricks are like legos.... you could turn them upside down with the bumps on the bottom..... wait....I think that would be worse! Lol

i first started using marinepure when it first came out. i’m not sure that i have any complaints at all. it is delicate but i’ve never had a block fall apart on me.

If you are handy with acrylic, you can fabricate a skimmer stand that houses a block of MarinePure underneath.

The vibration from the skimmer will slowly turn it to dust. I have experienced this first hand. IMHO there really is no need for them unless you have minimal rock in your display.
