MarinePure Fresh Pods - 2 Pack

Overview

MarinePure Fresh Pods are large-format ceramic bio media for freshwater aquariums and ponds. The grooved ~3.1" pod shape creates randomized currents that boost water-to-media contact for powerful biological filtration targeting ammonia nitrite and nitrate control.

Features

• About 3.1" diameter with deep cross sections for robust bacterial zones
• Open-flow porosity supports both nitrification and denitrification
• Each pod provides surface area comparable to thousands of plastic bio-balls
• Durable inert ceramic composition for long-term use
• Works in sumps static media baskets and large canisters

Specifications

• Quantity: 2 ceramic pods
• Approximate diameter: ~3.1" each
• Material: Inert porous ceramic with open-flow architecture
• Surface-area equivalence: Just one pod >5,000 plastic bio-balls (manufacturer/retailer data)
• Use case: Freshwater and brackish systems

Compatibility and Placement

• Use submerged in sumps canisters or static baskets with steady flow
• Not recommended for moving-bed or fluidized filters
• Safe with plants inverts and common water treatments

Maintenance and Lifespan

• Rinse gently in removed tank water when detritus accumulates
• Avoid harsh scrubbing chemicals or high-pressure rinsing that can fracture pores
• Stagger any replacements to preserve bio stability

Directions

1. Rinse lightly before use to remove dust
2. Place pods in a moderate-to-high flow area without restricting pump intake
3. Allow 2–4 weeks for colonization before evaluating water quality changes
4. Do not replace all bio media at once
