Matrix Seachem – High Capacity Biological Media

Matrix is an extremely porous inorganic biofiltration support, offering an active surface area exceeding 700 m² per liter. This unique structure allows the simultaneous development of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in the same media.

Key Points

Operating Principle

Unlike plastic biomedia limited to an external surface, Matrix has an internal and external macroporous structure. The pores are sized to host aerobic bacteria on the surface and anaerobic bacteria deeper within.

This dual colonization allows for the simultaneous removal of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates in a single filter, without the need for specific low-flow zones.

Installation and Compatibility

Use and Maintenance

Matrix is completely inert and does not deplete over time. As bacteria are mostly internal, the media can be occasionally rinsed without altering biological performance.

Regular filter maintenance is recommended to prevent clogging by sediments and maintain optimal efficiency.

Biofilter Optimization

For faster biofilter startup, Matrix can be used in conjunction with Stability. If there is a greater need for low-flow denitrification, the addition of de❊nitrate can be considered.
