Seachem® Tidal Matrix™ - Internal Fish Tank Filter

Seachem Tidal 75 Matrix is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Matrix is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter, with each liter providing as much surface (>~700 m2) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Matrix provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows them, nlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter.Features: High capacity biofiltrationControls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrateHighly porous - enormous surface area (>~700 m2/L)Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria speciIncludes: High capacity biofiltration Material(s): Carbon Package Weight: 350 ml Instructions: Treats up to 75 gallons. Matrix may be placed in any kind of filter, and is particularly effective in a canister filter. Matrix is sufficiently large that no filter bag should be required for most applications. Matrix works well in drip tray systems, but you may find that the larger Pond Matrix is better suited for such applications. Use with Stability to more rapidly establish the bio-filter.
