They say Jewel is good for both fresh and marine but if I were you just take apart your filter and check the impeller if it is ceramic or rubber. If it's ceramic then it's safe but the best brand to trust is Eihem where you will have no worries. Hope this helps. I would definitely change the pumps just to be safe.

Must i change the filter media or use the original one ??? if it's eihem , then you don't have to worry The impeller I was refering to is the rotating shaft in all pumps. Some have rubber which are meant for freshwater and the ceramic ones for marines. Yes , it's good enough for a 16g reef tank. I'm using two for mine on both ends.
