Seachem Matrix 500ml

• High capacity biofiltration
• Controls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
• Highly porous – enormous surface area (>~700 m²/L)
• Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species

Matrix is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. SEACHEM Matrix is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix provides as much surface (>~700 m²) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas it provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Matrix , unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter.

This biological filter media is completely 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.
