MatrixCarbon Seachem 500 ml – High-performance spherical activated carbon

SEACHEM

Principle and Design

MatrixCarbon is a unique activated carbon, formed into spherical beads to ensure optimal hydrodynamics. This design prevents compacting and water channeling, guaranteeing uniform contact between water and the macroporous adsorption sites.

Its macroporous structure is specifically adapted for the removal of large organic molecules, including nitrogenous waste, while limiting the excessive extraction of trace elements.

Main Advantages

Impact on pH and Phosphates

Thanks to its low ash content, MatrixCarbon has a negligible impact on the water's pH. Even in distilled water, it does not cause the pH to rise above 7.0.

Although all activated carbons naturally contain phosphate, MatrixCarbon stands out for its extremely low release, achieved through an advanced washing process that effectively removes residual ash.

Recommended Use

Compatibility

MatrixCarbon is compatible with cartridge filters, chemical filtration modules, canister filters, and high-flow areas of trickle filters. It is suitable for reef aquariums as well as marine and freshwater tanks.

Duration

Depending on the organic load of the tank, the usage duration generally ranges from 3 to 6 months. Highly loaded water will reduce the duration of effectiveness, while less loaded water will allow for extended use.

Capacity

500 ml.
