Hi Mike, You are able to place these anywhere they can come in contact with water. Sump, canister filter, trickle filter, in the tank, back of an AIO - the possibilities are many.
These are very small in size and absorb an incredible amount of water. I started using Marinepure Cermedia blocks before they were even accepted into the hobby 10 years ago. While great Cermedia crumbles after time. This media is solid and seems that it will stay together for some time.
PROS
Helps maintain and habor a healthy bacterial population to ensure stable nitrogenous waste levels.
CONS
Can't fit more in the filtration chamber in my IM Nuvo Fusion 10

Back in September I upgraded from the IM Nuvo Nano 8 to the IM Nuvo Fusion 10 mainly because it was get a bit crowded and minor scratches to side panel.Rather risking a catastrophic mini cycle I ditched the sand and implemented the barebottom method.Taking this approach isn't without its disadvantages,because it would also result in a significant decrease in the biological carrying capacity of the system.To counteract this I added a @maxspect Nano-Tech Bio-Block, I can assure you that it works and won't crumble like other biological filter media in the market.Currently the IM Nuvo Fusion 10 is running at dkh 8.0-8.15 Calcium 430 Magnesium 1300 NO3 1ppm PO4 0ppm.I will do another update in the following months.Hide
