Use one 1. 5 “ XPort Bio Block for every 20 to 40 U. S. gallons ( 75 to 150 L ) or one 2. 0” Xport Bio Block for every 30 to 50 U. S. gallons ( 100 to 200 liters) of system capacity, more for heavy bio loads. Recommendation: Do not use different bacteria products in an aquarium, particularly during startup! When an aquarium is new, the available nutrients for bacteria to consume are scarce and if the kind of bacteria you introduce requires organics, they will likely not be available and the two different bacterial cultures can fight each other. It is best to start out with MicrōBacter Start and cycle the tank, and then progress to MicrōBacterCLEAN at cycling completion. Then progress to MicrōBacter7 or FlorinBacter7at 4 to 6 months of age. This will provide the cleanest and fastest route to meet your goals and provide a beautiful and sustainable bacterial ecosystem. Particularly do not introduce foreign strains of bacteria such as "live sand", pre-cultured dry man made "live rock, " etc. It is ok to use rocks from other aquariums that have already cycled and live rock purchased from stores. All forms of man made or natural live rock (except dry pre-cultured), aragonite and marco rock will work fine. If you introduce the wrong strains of bacteria, at the wrong time, you can slow down the whole process.

Works well but crumbles after 6 months
It works well but disintegrates after 6 months of use. I'm going to have to switch products because it's crumbling into my sump

New, compact and different
Exactly 1.5 inch like advertised, doesn’t seem too soft dry. Will update if softens. Claims sound promising for my 60 gallon mbuna tank.

False advertising
This says a 4 pack of 2” bio cubes. It comes in a 3 pack. This should be corrected… but it is still cheaper then In store.

The my melt
It melts. It’s in the back of my all-in-one in an area without turbulent flow. I’ve had the brick in my tank for 6-9 months and it’s 50% melted to fine sand on the bottom. It hasn’t even been touch in that time. It’s fine, it was going to happen based on reviews, but it is an ordeal to clean out.

What is there to say?
I mean it's bio media, I'm guessing it works as advertised to add beneficial surface area. I used it in a reefer 170 with minimal rock work.

Disintegrating after 7 months
It may be a wonderfully porous home for bacteria to propagate & do what they do.... BUT the brick is now fragile & brittle to the point of crumbling/disintegrating if I handle it in the most delicate manner. Not a quality product...

Block cubes
seems like the water quality is doing fine for the fish but some corals are dying. Bought these blocks to get a bacteria bed that was better then when using bio-balls. Cant complain

Very well packaged and well priced for 360 gal-600gal coverage.
You can feel the weight difference between this and marinepur instantly and same goes for the porosity I am now a brightwell fan :). I have 6 cubes in the sump for my 150 gal display (reef) 200g total water volume and highly stocked. Would recommend to any reefer.
