Maintain a healthy, stable aquarium with Seachem Matrix, a highly porous biological filter media designed to support beneficial bacteria and improve biological filtration. Its unique porous structure provides a large surface area for bacteria to colonise, helping process aquarium waste and maintain better water quality.
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums, Matrix can be used in canister filters, sumps and other filtration systems to support an established biological filtration cycle.
High-surface-area filtration: Highly porous media provides extensive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise.
Supports biological filtration: Helps establish bacteria that process ammonia and nitrite in the aquarium nitrogen cycle.
Helps manage nitrate: Its internal pores can support anaerobic bacteria under suitable conditions, potentially assisting with nitrate reduction.
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums: Versatile biological media for a wide range of aquarium setups.
Permanent filter media: Durable, inert material designed for long-term use without requiring regular replacement.
Compatible with various filters: Suitable for canister filters, sumps and other filtration systems.
Easy maintenance: Can be gently rinsed in removed aquarium water when necessary to remove accumulated debris.
Recommended quantity: Use approximately 250mL of Matrix for every 200L of aquarium water, adjusting according to bioload and filtration requirements.
Place Matrix in a suitable filter media bag or directly into the designated filter chamber.
Ensure water flows through the media for effective biological filtration.
When establishing a new aquarium, allow time for beneficial bacteria to colonise the media.
Avoid rinsing with untreated tap water or replacing all established biological media at once, as this may disrupt beneficial bacteria.
