Product Description
Brightwell Aquatics Xport BIO Plate - Xport – the premier
filtration media in the world!
Xport-BIO Ultra-porous Biological Media with Superior
Performance Characteristics.
Overview:
Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced material
with vast surface area for colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria,
resulting in rapid and efficient conversion of ammonia into nitrite and
nitrate.
The highest colonizable surface area to volume ratio of
synthetic biological filtration media available.
Higher efficiency relative to conventional media results in
smaller space requirements to achieve equivalent nitrification.
May be employed to rapidly decrease ammonia and nitrite
concentrations in even the most heavily-stocked aquatic systems.
May be used in conjunction with Xport-NO3 and Xport-PO4
Nominal 9" x 8.00" x 1.50" for Aquascaping,
Biofiltration, and Coral Propagation
Because our material is not fired or heated, but chemically
hardened:
Surface area over 10 times as high as any competing products
(many times hundreds to thousands of times as high)
Wicks water and stays wet for days after a pump fails,
allowing bacteria to remain alive much longer and be ready when a system upset
is repaired.
We can dope it with sulfur, ferric oxyhydroxide or almost
any other material to facilitate bacterial growth or remove pollutants
It contains coral aragonite powder to buffer pH and provide
for bacteria life longevity.
We can make it in almost any shape and size - to fit a
specific filter system.
Use one XPort BIO PLATE for every 1,250 U.S. gallons (4,750
L) of system capacity, more for heavy bio loads. Rinse material well with
aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed the material
well with the aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed
the material using FLORINBACTER, MICROBACTER7 or MICROBACTER CLEAN as
appropriate for your aquarium, by placing XPORT BIO BRICK in a plastic
container, filling it with aquarium water, and then adding the full recommended
dose of either bacterial product,based on the size of your aquarium, to that
container. Allow to stand overnight and then add the seeded XPORT BIO BRICK to
your system. You may also add the water back to your aquarium if desired. It is
recommended that you use sponge, fine filter floss or other material. For
maximum results, also provide a good carbon source of growing bacteria, such as
Brightwell KATALYST bio pellets or liquid REEF BIO FUEL or FLORIN AXIS as
appropriate for your aquarium, as directed on their label.
