Brightwell Aquatics Xport Freshwater BIO Plate
Overview
Brightwell Aquatics Xport Freshwater BIO Plate is an ultra-porous biological filtration plate engineered specifically for freshwater and planted aquariums. Its slim, high-surface-area design provides enormous colonization space for beneficial bacteria while fitting neatly into sumps, canister filters, or dedicated bio chambers. The plate supports both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, helping convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate and contributing to long-term system stability and clarity.
