Brightwell Aquatics Xport BIO Cubes - Ultra-Porous Biological Filter Media for Filtration in Marine and Freshwater Aquariums XPCubeBIO20L
$727.88
Size1000-ml
About this item
- Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced material with vast surface area or colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria, resulting in rapid & efficient conversion of ammonia into nitrite & nitrate
- Designed to be used in marine and freshwater aquariums with a pH of 7. 5 or over
- Provides over 71, 000 square feet per liter, the highest colonizable surface area to volume ratio of biological filtration media available
- Higher efficiency relative to conventional media results in smaller space requirements to achieve equivalent nitrification
- May be used in conjunction with Xport NO3 Cubes and Xport PO4 Cubes
- Recommendation: Do not use different bacteria products in an aquarium, particularly during startup. When an aquarium is new, the available nutrients for bacteria to consume are scarce and if the kind of bacteria you introduce requires organics, they will likely not be available and the two different bacterial cultures can fight each other. It is best to start out with MicrōBacter Start and cycle the tank, and then progress to MicrōBacterCLEAN at cycling completion. Then progress to MicrōBacter7 or FlorinBacter7at 4 to 6 months of age. This will provide the cleanest and fastest route to meet your goals and provide a beautiful and sustainable bacterial ecosystem. Particularly do not introduce foreign strains of bacteria such as "live sand", pre-cultured dry man made "live rock, " etc. It is okay to use rocks from other aquariums that have already cycled and Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced material with vast surface area or colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria, resulting in rapid & efficient conversion of ammonia into nitrite & nitrate; Designed to be used in marine and freshwater aquariums with a pH of 7. 5 or over; Provides over 71, 000 square feet pe

- Read all instructions before use. Use about 2 to 4 XPort Bio Cubes for every 10 U.S. gallons ( 38 L ) of system capacity, more for heavy bio loads. Rinse material well with aquarium water or purified tap water to remove any dust. For superior results, seed the material using only the specific bacteria product that you are using in the aquarium. If using MicroBacter Start XLM, use one capful to seed (add balance of bacteria directly to the aquarium). If using FlorinBacter7, MicroBacter7 or MicroBacter Clean add full recommended dose. Place XPort Bio Cubes in a plastic container, filling it with aquarium water, and then adding the bacterial product, based on the size of your aquarium, to that container. Allow to stand overnight and then add the seeded XPort Bio Cubes to your system. Discard the soak water. It is recommended that you use sponge, fine filter floss or other mechanical filtration ahead of XPort Bio Cubes to prevent clogging with organic material. For maximum results, also provide a good carbon source for growing bacteria, such as Brightwell Katalyst bio pellets or liquid Reef BioFuel or FlorinAxis as appropriate for your aquarium, as directed on their label. For maximum nitrification, place in an area of good flow with good oxygenation.

I love the product.....but
I have been using Brightwell products for almost two years now, and I have advanced to buy larger size bottles of bacteria, etc. The Bio CUBES WHEN SENT by mail are not cube, squared or whatnot. Round, like a ball, powdery and beat to heck. I hope they find a way to ship these better. Such a waste when crumbled and unusable. Rather not post the picture. That would be aweful. Read more
Removes nitrate as advertised
Has worked miracles on my nitrate. I run the cubes in a media bag in chamber 3 of a Biocube 32. Cheato refugium and no skimmer. It took 2 months, but seemingly overnight my nitrates went from 25+ to less than 5. No other significant changes to the routine. It remains to be seen how the cubes hold up structurally. So far they are doing the export work as advertised. Read more
mostly powdered into dust.
No cotton or something placed inside the container so the ceramic had rattled around into mostly dust. This is an oversight by the manufacturer leading to a poor quality product that I wouldn't recommend at the price point. 14 dollars and no thought into how to ship the product to preserve to quality that would have cost a fraction of a cent. Wouldn't trust this company for any other product in my saltwater tank. Read more
