AkuaPure High Pore Bio Media
AkuaPure is an organic filter media made of very fine grained clays. A small mass possesses a very large surface area, so, even when using a small quantity of the product, there is a vast area on which good bacteria (Nitrosomas and Nitrobacter) involved in biological filtration (nitrification process) can develop.
AkuaPure’s absorbing power is selective and directed towards pollutants and catabolites, avoiding to capture nutrients, like vitamins. AkuaPure releases minerals and trace elements, with noticeable benefits for all the aquarium’s living inhabitants.
Instructions
- Rinse the product under running water to eliminate super-fine particles
- Place it in the special basket inside the filter
- Replace the product with a fresh pack every 3 months

FAQ
How does AkuaPure support the biological filtration process in an aquarium?
AkuaPure provides a large surface area made from fine-grained clays, allowing beneficial bacteria such as Nitrosomas and Nitrobacter to colonize and perform the nitrification process, which converts toxic ammonia into less harmful nitrites and nitrates.
Is AkuaPure safe for fish and other aquatic life?
Yes, AkuaPure releases essential minerals and trace elements that benefit aquatic inhabitants. It does not absorb vital nutrients like vitamins and is selective in capturing pollutants, reducing risk to fish health.
How often should I replace the AkuaPure media?
We recommend replacing the AkuaPure media with a fresh pack every 3 months to maintain optimal biological filtration performance.

I’ve used AkuaPure for 6 months in my 50-liter tank. The water clarity has improved significantly, and my fish seem more active. The media is easy to rinse and install. No fish have shown signs of stress, and the filter runs smoothly.

The media works well for biological filtration. I noticed a reduction in ammonia levels after a few weeks. It’s a bit heavier than expected, but the surface area helps with bacterial growth. I plan to replace it in 3 months as recommended.

Great product for maintaining a healthy aquarium. My shrimp and fish are thriving. The media doesn’t clog the filter and stays effective over time. I appreciate the selective absorption—no nutrient loss in the water.
