Brightwell - Bio Brick XPORT Marine - Biological Filtration

Description:

Brightwell Bio Brick XPORT Marine is a high-porosity biological filtration media designed for marine and hard freshwater aquariums with pH 7.5 or higher. Its unique porous structure offers one of the largest surface areas available for beneficial bacteria colonization, efficiently reducing ammonia, nitrites, phosphates, and dissolved organics. Doped with aragonite to buffer pH and prevent acid buildup, it supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial growth for comprehensive nitrogen cycling. Ideal for sumps, canisters, or ponds, it can be used alone or with other media to maintain stable, healthy water conditions.

Technical Specs:

• Compatibility: Marine and hard freshwater aquariums (pH ≥ 7.5)

• Surface Area: Over 71,000 sq ft per liter; ~100,000 sq ft per brick

• Dimensions: Approximately 9” x 4.5” x 2.5” (varies slightly)

• Material: Porous ceramic doped with aragonite

• Function: Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacterial colonization for nitrification and denitrification

• Usage: Use 1 brick per 1,000 gallons (more for heavy bio-loads); may be cut for smaller systems

• Installation Tips: Rinse before use, seed with compatible bacteria, and provide mechanical filtration upstream

• Additional Notes: Best results with controlled water flow; aerobic bacteria grow on surfaces exposed to oxygen, anaerobic inside the brick
