Brightwell Aquatics Bio Plate is a high-surface-area biological filtration media designed to support beneficial bacteria growth in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This durable bio filtration plate helps strengthen your aquarium’s biological filter by providing expanded surface area for nitrifying bacteria that convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic compounds.

At The Little Pet Company, we always emphasize that strong biological filtration is the foundation of a healthy, stable aquarium. Bio Plate can be placed in sumps, canister filters, wet/dry systems, or other filtration chambers to enhance biological capacity. It’s ideal for aquarists looking to increase bio-load support, improve stability, or upgrade existing filtration systems.

How Many Do You Need?

The number of Bio Plates required depends on tank size and stocking level:

• Small aquariums (up to 40 gallons): 1 plate
• Medium aquariums (40–75 gallons): 1–2 plates
• Large aquariums (75–125+ gallons): 2 or more plates
• Heavily stocked or reef systems may benefit from additional plates

Adding extra biological media is especially helpful when increasing fish load or upgrading filtration capacity.
