Seachem Matrix

Matrix is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Matrix is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Every liter of Matrix provides as much surface as 170 liters of plastic balls. Plastic bio-media provide only external surface area, whereas Seachem Matrix provides both internal and external macroporous surface area. These macropores are perfectly sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Matrix, unlike other types of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter.

Matrix is fully inert and will not breakdown. It need not be replaced. Since the majority of the bacteria are internal, Matrix may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter. Matrix is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.

• Fully inert and will not breakdown
• Highly porous biomedia for efficient biofiltration
• Internal & external and macroporous surface area

Use 250 mL of Matrix for each 200 L of water. Matrix may be placed in any kind of filter, and is very effective in a canister filter. Matrix is sufficiently large that no filter bag should be required for most applications.

This dosage may differ from your packaging. Based on updated studies, Matrix was found to treat even more water than previously asserted.
