Seachem Matrix Bio Media
The Seachem Matrix Bio Media provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Matrix™ is a porous inorganic that offers external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are specifically 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.
Features:
• Matrix™ is completely inert and will not breakdown
• About 10 mm in diameter
• Each liter of Matrix™ offers as much surface area (>~700 m2) as 170 liters of plastic balls
• It need not be replaced
• High-porosity biomedia
• 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
