Filter Media Matrix Seachem 500ml

The Seachem Matrix is a highly porous biomedia used for biological filtration in aquariums. It's specifically designed to provide an optimal surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, which helps break down harmful ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates in the tank. It’s not specifically a "filter media" in the traditional sense like sponge or foam; rather, it’s a biological filter media that works in tandem with other types of mechanical or chemical filtration.

The Seachem Matrix is particularly known for the following features:

• High Surface Area: Its porous structure provides extensive surface area (over 1,000 m² per liter) for the colonization of beneficial nitrifying bacteria.

• Long-Term Use: Unlike some filter media that can degrade or clog over time, Matrix can last for years and maintain its high surface area without breaking down.

• Low Dust Content: It is clean and dust-free when added to an aquarium, making it easy to handle.

• Versatile: Works well in both freshwater and saltwater setups and is effective in both mechanical and biological filtration processes.
