Seachem® Tidal™ 110 MatrixCarbon - Aquarium Filter Media for Fish Tanks

Seachem Tidal 110 MatrixCarbon is a truly unique activated carbon. It is formed as a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics and will not pack, and permits maximum water flow and contact with its high density of macroporous binding sites. MatrixCarbon has a very low ash content as indicated by its minimal impact on pH. Even when added to distilled water, it does not raise pH above 7.0. While all carbons contain phosphate, regardless of false claims to the contrary, MatrixCarbon has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. It outperforms other high grade carbons by at least two-fold when compared for total capacity to remove aquarium organic matter, rate of adsorption, and duration of use.Features: High efficiency spherical carbonVery little impact on pH due to low ash contentLowest leachable phosphate level on marketHigh removal capacity; large surface areaIncludes: 275 ml of high efficiency spherical carbonMaterial(s): Carbon Capacity: 110 gallonsInstructions: Treats up to 75 gallons. Use in a filter bag. Rinse before use. For best results, MatrixCarbon should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it. It may be used in a canister filter, chemical filtration module, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.
