Best For: Freshwater aquariums, saltwater aquariums, improving water quality, supporting beneficial bacteria growthThe Brightwell Aquatics Xport BIO Cubes are an ultra-porous biological filter media specifically designed for both marine and freshwater aquariums. These cubes utilize NanoIntelex Technology to create a highly efficient material with an extensive surface area, allowing for rapid colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria. This means that the conversion of ammonia into nitrite and nitrate occurs more swiftly and effectively compared to conventional filter media.
Recommended for aquariums with a pH of 7.5 or over, the Xport BIO Cubes provide over 71,000 square feet per liter of colonizable surface area. This outstanding surface area-to-volume ratio allows you to achieve equivalent nitrification while occupying a smaller space in your aquarium setup.
When starting a new aquarium, it is crucial to introduce bacteria as part of your cycling process carefully. Avoid using various bacterial products simultaneously, as they may compete, potentially hindering the establishment of a healthy ecosystem. Instead, consider starting with MicrōBacter Start for a smooth cycling experience.
