Chemi-pure remains a revolutionary product for over 60 years, and practically all aquarium filter media have been modeled after it! Large aquariums or small, Chemi-pure produces consistent results that make it easier to maintain a beautiful and healthy aquarium.

Chemi-pure can be used with all water types as a chemical absorption filter, ion generator, and exchange unit to positively keep pH at a perfect and constant level. Chemi-pure is also fantastic for use with African cichlids and Discus! Chemi-pure

Does not remove trace elements and is the only filter medium which aids in the natural balance of positive and negative charges, with an emphasis on the beneficial negative ion. Now featuring QuickWash Carbon™, our newest improvement to the original Chemi-pure formula. This carbon is pelletized and pre-washed providing the best combination of surface area, pore size and dust content, making it the ideal filtration solution for fresh and saltwater aquariums.

Directions: Keep Chemi-pure sealed wet in container until ready for use. Rinse bag under running water for 5 to 10 seconds, place bags into a high flow area of your sump, canister filter, or HOB filter. Chemi-pure should be replaced approximately every 2-4 months depending on bio-load. If more than one Chemi-pure filter bag is used, change one at a time every week until all bags have been replaced.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
