MarinePure is designed to be a substrate for bio-filtration, specifically to target ammonia and nitrite removal and to minimize nitrates. MarinePure is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. MarinePure can be used fully submerged or in trickle/shower filters.
For Removal of Ammonia and Nitrates (Nitrification)
- Initial rinse of media with water to remove surface particulate created during shipping.
