Seachem® Matrix Carbon™

DESCRIPTION Matrix Carbon is a truly unique activated carbon. It is formed as a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics, and will not pack. It permits maximum water flow and contact with its high density of macroporous binding sites. Matrix Carbon 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, Matrix Carbon has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. Matrix Carbon 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 carbon. Very little impact to pH due to low ash content. Lowest leachable Phosphate level on the market. High removal capacity; large surface area.Includes: 100 MLIntended Pet(s): FishMaterial(s): Matrix Carbon is a bituminous coal-based, macroporous carbon. Color: BlackProduct Dimensions: 3.00 in x3.00 in x6.31 inProduct Weight: 0.38 lbs.Capacity: Up to 40 U.S Gallons / 160 LDirections: Rinse before use. For best results, Matrix Carbon 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.Caution: Rinse before use.
