Xport Bio Dimpled Brick 9″ x 4.5″ x 2.5″ – Brightwell Aquatics

Product details

Xport Bio Dimpled Brick 9" x 4.5" x 2.5" – Brightwell Aquatics is a high-porosity biological filtration media brick designed for use in marine and hard freshwater aquariums with pH 7.5 or over. Its purpose is to provide extensive aerobic and anaerobic surface area so beneficial bacteria can colonize efficiently and help manage nitrogen compounds as part of an aquarium’s filtration system.

Features:

• High-porosity design intended to maximize usable surface area per unit volume or weight.
• Provides both aerobic and anaerobic space to support broad bacterial colonization within the media.
• Laboratory-tested to provide over 71,000 square feet (6,596 square meters) of surface area per liter of medium.
• One brick is listed as providing about 100,000 square feet of useable surface area for bacterial colonization.
• Designed to help reduce toxic ammonia and nitrites to near zero when properly colonized and used as directed (per the provided product overview).
• Also described as helping reduce phosphate and dissolved organics, alongside its biological role.
• Manufactured with aragonite to help buffer pH at the bacteria level and help prevent acid buildup that can reduce biological performance.
• Usable as the only filtration medium or combined with other filtration media.
