The Brightwell Xport NO3 Plate is a high-capacity biological filtration media designed to aggressively reduce nitrate levels in saltwater aquarium systems. Utilizing advanced NanoIntelex Technology, this ultra-activated material provides a massive surface area for beneficial denitrifying bacteria to colonize. Its unique plate form factor makes it versatile for use in sumps, media reactors, or even as a functional part of your aquascape, helping to eliminate the need for water changes performed solely for nitrate reduction.

This innovative media outperforms conventional denitrification products by over 300%, allowing for a smaller footprint to achieve significant nitrate removal. The plate measures a nominal 9 by 8 by 1.5 inches and features an open-pore structure for superior water flow. Unlike fired ceramic media, it is chemically hardened and contains aragonite to buffer pH. A key benefit is its ability to wick and retain water, keeping bacterial colonies alive for extended periods during a power outage or pump failure.

This product is ideal for reef aquarists with heavily-stocked tanks or those struggling with persistent high nitrate readings. Its high efficiency is perfect for systems with limited sump space where traditional media would be insufficient. Aquascapers will also find the plate's shape useful for building creative and functional rockwork, while coral propagators can use it as a fragging surface that simultaneously enhances water quality.
