The benefits and information of Matrix from Seachem
Maximized Filtration Surface
Matrix 2L stands out for its exceptional contact surface, exceeding 700 m² per liter. This allows for intensive colonization by nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, making the filtration process more efficient and faster than ever. Ideal for maintaining a healthy aquatic environment, Matrix 2L transforms toxic waste into less harmful compounds in the blink of an eye.
Effectiveness of Denitrification
Unlike traditional biomedia, Matrix 2L provides effective removal of nitrates as well as nitrites and ammonia. This ability to support both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the same filter facilitates comprehensive nitrogen waste management, essential for fish health and water clarity.
Reduced Maintenance, Long Lasting Results
The inert structure of Matrix 2L ensures its longevity. This biomedia does not degrade over time and does not require replacement, making it an economical and environmentally friendly choice for aquarists. Additionally, it can be rinsed without risking damage to internal beneficial bacteria, simplifying maintenance of your filter.
Compatibility and Flexible Use
Matrix 2L is compatible with all types of filters, but it particularly excels in cartridge filters. Its size eliminates the need for filtration bags for most applications, and it also works well in drip tray systems. Used with Seachem 's Stability® product, Matrix 2L accelerates the establishment of the bio-filter, further improving water quality from the first uses.
Manual
