Matrix. High capacity biofiltration. Controls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Highly porous – enormous surface area (>~700 m2/L). Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species
Features:
Matrix is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. 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 Matrix 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. Matrix 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.
Directions:
Use 250 mL of Matrix for each 200 L (50 US gallons)** of water. Matrix may be placed in any kind of filter, and is particularly effective in a canister filter. Matrix is sufficiently large that no filter bag should be required for most applications. Matrix works well in drip tray systems, but you may find that the larger Pond Matrix is better suited for such applications. Use with Stability to more rapidly establish the bio-filter.
Note:
This dosage may differ from your packaging. Based on updated studies, we’ve found Matrix treats even more water than previously asserted.

Works well in my canister filter. Once cycled ammonia and nitrite both permanently at 0 even when I’ve added a big batch of new fish or fed heavily. Seem to help with Nitrate too, though this is a slower process. Nice and chunky, no need to put in mesh bag – just filled one of my filter baskets and it sits there quite happily.

This is an excellent product. Swapped my old bio media for this leaving a few behind to seed it. Crystal clear water. Needs a lot of rinsing before going in the filter which I used tank water.

Great product. Saw this reviewed by famous aquascapers and thought I would give it a go. I wasnÕt really expecting much. How wrong I was. This stuff is really amazing. My water is always crystal clear and I thought it was clean before. Great purchase and would definitely recommend.

This product is brilliant! I have a tropical 54L tank with 150L/hr external filter set up in the afternoon and to my surprise the water was crystal clear in the evening.

Seachem is great and does exactly what it says

Seachem products are good, just put it in the filter and forget. I am using it with Seachem Purigen, water quality is great, but I am changing water in every 7 days and my fishes are happy. Hope it is really working. I have goldfish, with Angels and Zebra Fish tank. Just go for it. I am using it in my SOBO WP 3000 F Filter. Thanks to easypets.

I was afraid that I will get duplicate product or tempered product by seller after reading & watching matrix product review on Easypets but by this seller I got original genuine product I was happy n bought one more from same seller n again it was original n genuine.. product might be bit expensive but if it’s original it works best (forget about ceramic ringlike stuff) if u have one or two fish tank invest ur Mony on it … And it last forever no need to replace , just wash it in aquarium water that’s it good as new ….

Fantastic product It works, and works well. I put only mechanical filtration and the rest 2 out of 3 trays on my x2 canister filters filled with matrix. Was able to see result same day.

Brilliant filter media, I got to make 4 bags out of this but I don’t fill them all way as I find they fit better in the filter if you only fill the mesh bags half full

grate product, good size as to not fall through my relatively course filter baskets in my oases biomaster filters currently running 10l over two tanks totalling ~300l. keeps my water parameters prefect even though both are heavily stocked

Seachem Matrix is basically pumice rock. I guess I could get pumice rock from a local nursery, reason I buy the seachem brand because is already clean and disinfected just a quick rinse and you can add the media to any filter from canisters to HOB filters. Also the size of the media is perfect for any type of filter, either added lose or in a media mesh bag. It works great!

This is extremely cost effective media. This media out performs most other media and all other media in this price range. It’s basically pumice so very good surface area for a very attractive price point.

Started using this after delivering to a aquarium shop and what wonders of a difference did it make to the fish tank. Try it out, you’ll love it. No More Filters.

Close ur eyes and then press buy. one of the best biological media out there. Pls don’t buy crap like ceramic rings or bioballs. The surface area these media provide will blow those stuff out of the water.. literally.

Product is very good… Effective.. But don’t buy from Sai aqua world as they cheated me by sending fake duplicate items like mix of ceramic balls and carbon.. Guys b careful.. I returned the product…
Amjithlal (verified owner) –
ItÕs really good product but this pack wonÕt be enough to fill up your canister filter completely but if you have smaller filter then this is enough.

Best Filter media in this price class and Seachem keep up the trust with this product. I strongly recommend it.
