Xport No3 Plate 9″ x 8″ x 1.5″ – Brightwell Aquatics

Product details

Xport No3 Plate 9" x 8" x 1.5" – Brightwell Aquatics is a biofiltration plate designed for use in marine aquariums and hard freshwater systems (pH 7.5 or higher). Its purpose is to provide a high-porosity surface where beneficial bacteria can colonize and carry out biological filtration. In practical terms, it’s meant to support conversion of nitrogen compounds (ammonia and nitrites) and to help limit other waste buildup as it becomes properly colonized. It can be used as the only filtration media or added alongside other media, depending on your filtration design.

Features:

• High-porosity media designed to maximize usable surface area for bacterial colonization
• Supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial communities for efficient biological processing
• Laboratory-tested surface area figures indicate very large surface availability per unit volume
• Provides pH buffering support at the bacteria level due to aragonite doping
• Intended to reduce ammonia and nitrites when properly colonized and used as directed
• May also help reduce phosphate and dissolved organics over time
