Marine Pure bio blocks

[RimlessReef]

So is there any TRUE up to date info on them ? The old spread info was “ leaking “ aluminum. But im thinking that was the gen1 version in the older boxes. Which is said to be fixed.
But I also would like to know if any has only bio blocks in there ( frag tanks ) tanks and no rock at all ! And how successful is the coral ? Also For surface bio, and not only to lower nitrates

I've been using them without any issues, but then again softies can grow in sewer.

I have the balls and plates in my system. I don't have a sump but have a CPR Aquafuge hanging on the back of the tank with the MarinePure inside of it. I have had had ICP tests done and no aluminum showing up. My system has Reef Ready man made rocks and that is why I choose to add them. If I remember correctly, the aluminum was coming from those who didn't buy from dealers (ex: BRS) but from Ebay and amazon.

I have been using them since day one no problems. When I sent ICP test it was all good.

I have the marine pure spheres in the sump in my 40 gal frag tank setup. No issues so far . But I don’t ICP test. All the coral seem fine as far as I can tell. Everything I’ve put in there has been growing. I have zoas, Xenia, chalices, and leptos with a couple small fish in there. I do have a few pieces of live rock in the tank though too, about 5lbs total.

I have used the old and new ones in many systems, no problems. I also use off brand ceramic media from ebay with no issues.

There’s also Brightwell’s bio brick and Maxspect makes a brick as well. About the same price point too.
