Brightwell Aquatics Xport NO3 Plate - Xport – the premier filtration media in the world!
Xport-NO3 Ultra-activated Denitrification Media with Superior Performance Characteristics.
Overview:
Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced, "ultra-activated" material
with the capacity to outperform conventional denitrification media by over 300%
Open structure and high surface area results in superior flow-through characteristics
and filtration efficiency.
Higher efficiency relative to conventional media results in smaller space requirements to
achieve equivalent denitrification.
May be employed to rapidly decrease nitrate in even the most heavily-stocked systems.
Eliminates the need to perform water changes that are carried out for the express
purpose of decreasing nitrate in an aquarium system.
May be used in conjunction with Xport-BIO and Xport-PO4
Nominal 9" x 8.00" x 1.50" for Aquascaping, Biofiltration, and Coral Propagation
Because our material is not fired or heated, but chemically hardened:
Surface area over 10 times as high as any competing products (many times hundreds to
thousands of times as high)
Wicks water and stays wet for days after a pump fails, allowing bacteria to remain alive much
longer and be ready when a system upset is repaired.
We can dope it with sulfur, ferric oxyhydroxide or almost any other material to facilitate
bacterial growth or remove pollutants
It contains coral aragonite powder to buffer pH and provide for bacteria life longevity.
We can make it in almost any shape and size - to fit a specific filter system.
Use one XPort NO3 PLATE for every 1,250 U.S. gallons (4,750 L) of system capacity, more for heavy bio loads. Rinse material well with aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed the material well with the aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed the material using FLORINBACTER, MICROBACTER7 or MICROBACTER CLEAN as appropriate for your aquarium, by placing XPORT NO3 Plate in a plastic container, filling it with aquarium water, and then adding the full recommended dose of either bacterial product,based on the size of your aquarium, to that container. Allow to stand overnight and then add the seeded XPORT NO3 Plate to your system. You may also add the water back to your aquarium if desired. It is recommended that you use sponge, fine filter floss or other material. For maximum results, also provide a good carbon source of growing bacteria, such as Brightwell KATALYST bio pellets or liquid REEF BIO FUEL or FLORIN AXIS as appropriate for your aquarium, as directed on their label.

Q
Can I use this Block in the refugium area instead of sand with chaeto?
Sump filtration and in the refugium area, I wish to put instead of sand and chaeto, use this block and chaeto. Can this replace sand?
Great Question.
Yes, you can use the Brightwell Xport Plate instead of sand for filtration. Please do note that you are looking to achieve denitrafication, a very slow flow rate though the area is required. At higher flow rates, the Xport Plate work great as a biological filter breaking down ammonia and nitrite.
