Revolutionize your aquarium's filtration and achieve unparalleled water quality with Seachem Matrix™! This cutting-edge, high-porosity biomedia is engineered to provide incredibly efficient biofiltration, ensuring the complete removal of nitrogenous waste from your freshwater or marine system. Matrix™ is far from an ordinary filter media; it's a game-changer for maintaining a pristine and healthy aquatic environment.
This porous inorganic solid, approximately 10 mm in diameter, boasts an astonishing surface area. Each liter of Matrix™ provides over 700 m² of surface, equivalent to what you'd find in a massive 170 liters of conventional plastic bio-balls! Unlike plastic biomaterials that offer only external surface area, Matrix™ provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are perfectly sized to support both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, allowing Matrix™ to uniquely remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter!
High Porosity Biomedia: Offers an exceptionally high surface area (over 700 m² per liter) for maximum bacterial colonization and filtration efficiency.
Complete Nitrogenous Waste Removal: Uniquely designed to support both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, enabling it to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate all in one place.
Macroporous Internal Structure: Provides ideal internal spaces (macropores) for beneficial bacteria to thrive, supporting a complete nitrogen cycle.
Completely Inert & Permanent: Matrix™ is an inorganic solid that will not break down or leach undesirable compounds into your water. It never needs to be replaced, providing a permanent filtration solution.
Low Maintenance: Since the majority of the beneficial bacteria reside internally within the Matrix™, it can be rinsed as needed without damaging your vital biofilter.
Versatile Compatibility: Compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters, making it a flexible upgrade for any filtration system.
Enhances Water Quality: Leads to significantly improved water quality, clarity, and a healthier environment for all aquatic inhabitants.
Seachem Matrix™ is an essential upgrade for all freshwater and marine aquarium owners seeking superior biological filtration. It is ideal for:
New tank setups to rapidly establish a robust biofilter.
Existing aquariums needing enhanced nitrate reduction and overall waste management.
Overstocked tanks or those with high bioloads.
Aquarists looking for a low-maintenance, long-term, and highly effective filtration media solution.
