Matrix™ is a top - notch biomedia with high porosity. It's a game - changer for biofiltration, effectively getting rid of nitrogenous waste. This porous inorganic solid has a diameter of about 10 mm. Each liter of Matrix™ offers a whopping surface area (over ~700 m²), which is equivalent to 170 liters of plastic balls! Unlike plastic bio - materials that only have an external surface, Matrix™ has both external and internal macroporous surfaces. These macropores are perfect for hosting nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. That means Matrix™ can remove nitrate, ammonia, and nitrite all at once, right in the same filter. Matrix™ is completely inert and won't break down, so you don't need to replace it. Since most of the bacteria live inside, you can rinse it when necessary without harming the filter. It works well with all wet or wet - dry filters. Key features include high - capacity biofiltration, control of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, high porosity with an enormous surface area (over ~700 m²/L), and support for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Net Wt. 400 g (14.1 oz).
Using Matrix™ is easy. Just place it in your wet or wet - dry filter. It will start working right away to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate from your water. You don't need to replace it as it's completely inert and won't break down. When the filter needs cleaning, you can rinse Matrix™. Since most of the helpful bacteria are inside, rinsing won't damage the filter's function. Make sure to place it in an area where water can flow through it well for the best results. Keep it away from any harsh chemicals as this might affect its performance. That's all you need to do to keep your water clean and your filter working great with Matrix™.
