Poly-Bio Marine vs. Pura?

[Jnicho]

So I had this little mishap with some brass fittings when I set up my latest tank a few months ago (long story, don't ask). Anyway, the fittings were quickly removed and everything in the tank is doing well (except my brand new anemone but that's in a different post). I have been running the pads that claim to remove copper meds etc. just in case there was any absorbed/leaching back out what have you. I'm just wondering if anyone has a preference on them. I know Poly-Bio has been around for a long time, and I like that they change colors. The Pura pad folks talk a good talk too tho. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

not sure, sorry, have never tried either.

Poly Pads can be a useful tool, I am unfamiliar with Pura

PÛRA Filtration Pad

PÛRA Pads are a true chemical filtration powerhouse. By blending the most powerful, and highest quality filtration materials, PÛRA Filtration Pads set a new performance standard. We use only acid washed carbons, highest-grade ferric hydroxides, and very high ion exchange capacity zeo-sorbents to bring you pads of extraordinary filtration ability. PÛRA Pads are the only pads that remove all of the major aquarium pollutants. Each square foot of PURA Pad has about the filtration capacity equivalent of 1/2 pound mix of standard carbon, ammonia remover, and phosphate remover. Simple to implement, PÛRA Pads are available in two bulk sizes. Use in any wet/dry or power filter! Through removal of phosphates, PÛRA Pads greatly reduce algae growth and scum formation resulting in a cleaner and more enjoyable aquarium. Through removal of ammonia, organic wastes, heavy metals such as copper and lead, medications, byproducts of fish metabolism, and water discoloring agents, PÛRA Pads create a low stress environment for invertebrates, fish, plants, and all aquatic life. Basically like the old Poly-Bio pads on steroids!
