Well, you need something to put your corals on and looks nice.That is contrary to what science has proven. If it were true we would not need live rock in our tanks at all.
It will what was gathered on the surface, but not from deep micropores. As long as you keep the rock underwater, it's trapped there. If you pull the rock out of the water, it can come out.If that was the case rocks would never release phosphates.
Can you cite your sources?It will what was gathered on the surface, but not from deep micropores. As long as you keep the rock underwater, it's trapped there. If you pull the rock out of the water, it can come out.
Just basic physics. Water always follows the path of less resistance. Water flowing around a rock won't go voluntary into an already filled micropore, because the resistance is much higher there.Can you cite your sources?

And how many flow do you think there is OUTSIDE the block? 99,999% of the water will never reach the inside of the block, it just flows around the block towards the exit of the sump.Yeah sorry @Harold999
The whole idea behind cintered media in a sump is for very low flow inside the block.
Good anaeroob filters treaten the whole/total wateramount, not just the 0,01% (or whatever small amount) that succeeds to reach the deeper parts of a ceramic block.Again, your understanding of the science is just wrong. End of story.
Quit trying to come up with reasons why your right. Science, yes actual science not your banter, has proven you wrong.
It’s funny how every now and then someone comes along with a crackpot theory to contradict something that’s been proven and duplicated 1000x...Again, your understanding of the science is just wrong. End of story.

Instead of making this a circlejerk for the believers let's get some real tests to the table. Here a controlled test of a Marine Pure block vs empty tank. At the end the nitrate levels were exactly the same in all tanks.
So does it remove nitrates? Nope.
The problem i read with "old" blocks (laying in the sump for a long time) is that the pores will clog, and have to be rinsed out from time to time to be open again. But if you do that you will kill the anaeroob bacteria...You think dead rock/block turns into liverock/-block in 9 weeks? Because that's what they tested, dead, uncolonized rock.
They should have tested a block like that that was already in a running system for 2 years. And liverock as comparison while they were at it.
Failse! Dear sir you have zero understanding of rock work and saltwater hydrology as applicable to our aquariums. You have made serval conflicting statements and others that are just flat out wrong. I suggest you read Randy Farley Holmes threads on the matter to educate yourself. I only wish to educate you. Good luck!It will what was gathered on the surface, but not from deep micropores.

w about hello ? Jello ?it's very acidic so that may be a problem.saltwater will probably wash the color out over a period of time I think
Only saying "false" and "i should read this or that" doesn't say anything about my points. You have no valid arguments that prove otherwise.Failse!
