Introduction: Seachem Matrix is a high-performance biological filtration media designed for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It is specifically engineered to provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, promoting efficient biological filtration. By supporting the growth of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Matrix helps to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate, significantly improving overall water quality and creating a healthier environment for aquatic life.

Features:

  • High Surface Area: Matrix provides an extensive surface area (approximately 70,000 square feet per cubic meter) for beneficial bacteria to thrive, enhancing biological filtration.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use in canister filters, sumps, or as a standalone filtration media in various aquarium setups.
  • Promotes Nitrate Reduction: The porous structure supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, facilitating the conversion of harmful ammonia and nitrite into nitrate and ultimately helping to reduce nitrate levels in the aquarium.
  • Long-Lasting: Matrix does not break down over time, providing effective filtration for years without the need for replacement, making it a cost-effective choice.
  • Non-Toxic and Safe: Made from inert materials, it does not leach harmful substances into the water, ensuring a safe environment for fish and plants.

Usage:

  • Placement: Matrix can be placed in any filter system, such as canister filters, hang-on-back filters, or sumps. It can be used in mesh bags or loose in filter chambers.
  • Dosing:
    • A recommended starting point is 100 mL of Matrix per 100 liters (approximately 25 gallons) of aquarium water.
    • For heavily stocked tanks or larger systems, consider increasing the amount proportionally.
  • Rinse Before Use: Rinse Matrix in dechlorinated water before adding it to your filter to remove any dust or debris from manufacturing.
  • Avoid Disruption: Minimize disturbance of the media once established, as beneficial bacteria can be sensitive to sudden changes in their environment.

Available Sizes: Seachem Matrix is available in various sizes to accommodate different filtration needs:

  • 250 mL: Suitable for small aquariums or as a trial size for new users.
  • 500 mL: Ideal for mid-sized tanks requiring regular biological filtration.
  • 1 Liter: Great for larger aquariums or systems with higher bioloads.
  • 2 Liters and 4 Liters: Bulk options for extensive use in large aquariums or aquaculture systems.

Recommendations:

  • Monitor Water Quality: Regularly test ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to ensure effective biological filtration. Adjust the amount of Matrix based on your tank’s bioload and specific needs.
  • Combine with Other Media: For optimal filtration, consider using Matrix in conjunction with Seachem’s MatrixCarbon (for chemical filtration) or De*Nitrate (for additional nitrate reduction).
  • Be Patient: Biological filtration takes time to establish. It may take several weeks for beneficial bacteria to colonize Matrix fully, so be patient and monitor water parameters during this period.
  • Avoid Overcleaning: When cleaning your filter, avoid rinsing Matrix in tap water, as chlorine and chloramines can harm beneficial bacteria. Instead, rinse it in tank water during water changes to maintain its effectiveness.
