Review on Brightwell Aquatics Xport PO4 Cubes - High-Porosity Media for Efficient Phosphate & Silicate Removal in Pond, Freshwater & Marine Aquariums by Jennifer Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks good, I'll update in a month or so!

Let's see how much this will change my previously created sea reef aquarium! I will update my review every few months. I put this biological carrier on the built-in AIO sump. I recommend always placing loose aquarium biological media in a reusable mesh bag so that you can rinse the biological media out every two months and flush away any residue (discarded food, dead fish, fish droppings). When using this biological medium with live bacteria first 1. Soak the biological medium in a bowl of liquid for 24 hours before adding to the aquarium. 2. Add live bacteria to your aquarium every week and upgrade them by adding the set amount per bottle (do not overuse or use two different types of bacteria at the same time as you could end up killing all your livestock) ( also when measuring the number of bacteria). Live bacteria don't forget to subtract from the volume of your live rock. Gallons is the approximate number of gallons of water from your sump, so a 35 gallon sump typically contains about 10 gallons of water, so measure 45 gallons of water in this example)] and 3. Perform maintenance every two months and remove the biological media you placed in the mesh bag. So you can wash away all the dirt, keeping your environment healthy and you can get your work done more efficiently. The medium is very dusty when packed, so I recommend rinsing the biological medium before immersing it in a bath of fresh live bacteria and then placing it in your sump or filtration system of choice. ☆ I really hope people who are new to this hobby read this and save some money. BY NOT OVERDOSING YOUR AQUARIUM WITH LIVE BACTERIA and flushing every two months you will have an exceptionally clean and healthy reef aquarium!
