Seachem Matrix 1L

Matrix is ​​a highly porous biological filter material that provides effective biofiltration to remove nitrogenous waste. Matrix ™ is a porous inorganic solid with a diameter of about 10 mm. Each liter of Matrix provides as much surface (> ~ 700 m2) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic biomaterials provide only external surface area, while Matrix provides both external and internal macroporous surface. These macropores are the ideal size to support nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Matrix, unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite at the same time and in the same filter.

The Matrix is ​​completely inert and not damaged and therefore does not need to be replaced. The Matrix can be washed as needed without damaging the filter. Matrix is ​​compatible with all types of wet or dry filters.

Using
Use 250 ml Matrix for every 200 L of water. Matrix can be placed in any type of filter, and is especially effective in canister filters. The Matrix is ​​large enough that a filter bag is not required for most applications. Use Matrix with Stability for faster biological balancing.
