Description
Brightwell Aquatics Xport BIO Plate – Nominal 9.00″ x 8.00″ x 1.50″ for Aquascaping, Biofiltration, and Coral Propagation
1 plate treats up to 1,250 gallons aquarium capacity
Overview
• Made of aragonite-based Xport-Ca material; rapidly grows coralline algae.
• Does not alter aquarium pH, KH, or phosphate levels.
• Easily accommodates multiple frags.
• ~125,000 sq. ft. surface area per plate for colonization by nitrifying and denitrifying microbes. Average surface area of 500,000 ft2 per cubic foot (~1,900 m2 per L, ~150 ft2 per gram) encourages colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria, resulting in rapid and efficient conversion of ammonia into nitrite and nitrate and further enhancing the stability of nutrient concentrations in grow out systems. Will house denitrifiers if placed in low-flow areas. Holds moisture for prolonged periods of time, maintaining biofiltration viability even during power outages when plates are placed above the maximum water height in the filtration system.
• Combines the benefits of vast surface area and intelligent design with a high-purity aragonite component to maximize the aquarist’s use of available space in coral culture systems while maximizing the growth rate potential of coralline algae, yielding shorter grow out to market than when using conventional plugs.
• The use of Brightwell Aquatics R.E.E.F.-Fuze fluorescent cyanoacrylate enables aquarists to monitor growth rates at a glance, as the fluorescent coloration of the bonded area is over grown with new coral tissue.
• Plate shape is conducive to placement in flow-through filtration systems and dramatically improves filtration potential relative to archaric plastic, sintered glass, or even live rock rubble filtration media.
• Researched, designed, and made in the USA of US-sourced, high-quality ingredients.
