MarinePure GEMS 3.2oz High Performance Biofilter Media
MarinePure GEMS are about a half inch diameter filter tetradecagons that are the perfect biological media for canister filters, hang on the back and nano-tank systems up to 70 gallons. The GEMS have the same porosity as the popular MarinePure SPHERES. Their unique combination open flow porosity and high surface area means one box of these little beauties is packed with over 1,450 Square Feet (135 Square Meters) of accessible Surface Area. They are the perfect solution for ammonia and nitrite elimination, and most users will also see better control in Nitrates.
Can be used in a variety of applications including; tanks, sumps, refugiums, canister filters, DIY filters, trickle or shower filters, waterfall filters, hang on back filters.
Features:
Combination of vast surface area and open/interconnected pores allow a thin bio-film to develop. This thin film allows bacteria to flourish because necessary nutrients are immediately available. With the open pores, old dead bio-film is easily flushed from the media and will not plug the media. Water flows through the media, not around as with other denser medias, thus utilizing the most surface area for beneficial bacterial growth.
Size: 3.2 oz. (90 grams)
