Review on 🐠 Brightwell Aquatics Xport PO4 Cubes: Pro-grade Filter Media for Pond, Freshwater & Marine Aquariums - Eliminate Phosphate & Silicate! by Jason Ortiz

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 saltwater reef tank! 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 and improve your live bacteria in the aquarium every week 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). Don't forget to subtract live bacteria 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 only holds about 10 gallons of water, so in this example you will measure 45 gallons of water)] and 3. Perform maintenance every two months and remove the biological medium you put in the mesh bag. So you can flush away all the waste, keeping your environment healthy and you can get your work done more efficiently. The medium is very dusty when packaged, so I recommend rinsing the biological carrier before immersing it in a bath of fresh live bacteria and then placing it in your sump or filtration system of choice. β˜† I really hope people who are new to the 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!
