What is Matrix?

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.

Features:

• High capacity biofiltration.
• Controls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
• Highly porous - enormous surface area (>~700 m2/L).
• Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species.

Benefits:

• Great for upgrading your old filter media.
• Easy to clean.
• Can be used in multiple types of filters like canister filters, top filters, sump filters.
• Highly porous media with a large surface area perfect for colonising nitrifying bacteria.

Directions:

• Use 250 mL of Matrix for each 200L of water.
• Matrix may be placed in any kind of filter. It is particularly effective in canister filters.
• 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 the larger Pond Matrix is better suited for such applications.
