The Brightwell Bio Plate Starter Bundle is a complete biological filtration solution designed to enhance nutrient processing and stability in your saltwater aquarium. This kit combines an ultra-porous ceramic Bio Plate with MicroBacter Start XLM, a potent liquid bacterial culture. Together, they establish and support a robust population of beneficial bacteria, which efficiently breaks down ammonia and nitrite, leading to a healthier and more stable aquatic environment for your reef inhabitants.

The core of the bundle is the Bio Plate, a high-surface-area media with approximate dimensions of 9" x 8" x 1.5". Its unique, thin form factor allows it to be easily placed in tight sump spaces, such as between baffles, maximizing filtration capacity without taking up valuable room. Unlike some specialized media, the Bio Plate does not contain sulfur and is intended for broad biological filtration. The included 125 mL bottle of MicroBacter Start XLM provides the live nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria needed to rapidly seed the plate and jumpstart the biological cycle.

This starter bundle is ideal for aquarists setting up a new saltwater system or those looking to increase the biological capacity of an established tank. It is particularly beneficial for hobbyists with limited sump space who need an effective, space-saving filtration method. By providing a simple, all-in-one solution to boost your aquarium's natural nutrient processing capabilities, this bundle helps ensure long-term stability and success as your reef system matures and grows.
