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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Made my corals miserable in my nanosystem.

I'm having a problem with green algae in my Fluval Evo. My nitrates are near 0 so I know I have a phosphate problem (algae eat phosphate so my reading is a false 0). My aquarium is small so I found the smallest cube I could find, soaked it according to the instructions and wrapped it in cling film. fine filter thread. My duncan didn't open for two days and my mushrooms shriveled up completely. I'm not sure if the cube was too big for my system or if there was something else the corals hated about it. I removed it (it will melt in your tank so be sure to wrap it with twine or before mechanical filtering). I did a water change and it took a few days to a week for my corals to look happy again. Oh, and I still have seaweed in my hair.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
