Matrix

🧪 Usage Instructions

Initial Setup (Adding to a new or existing system):

• Rinse thoroughly before use to remove dust.
• Dosage: Use 250 mL of Matrix per 200 L (50 US gallons) of water.
• Placement: Ideal for canister filters, sumps, trickle filters, or media bags.
• Note: Works best in systems with steady water flow.

Maintenance Dosing (Long-term support):

• Matrix is self-sustaining and lasts indefinitely under proper conditions.
• Rinse gently in dechlorinated or tank water only if clogged.
• Do not replace unless physically degraded—Matrix becomes more effective over time as bacterial colonies mature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How is Matrix different from other bio-media?
A: Matrix has both macro- and micro-pores, allowing it to support aerobic and anaerobic bacteria for complete nitrogen cycle filtration, including nitrate removal.

Q: Can I use Matrix with chemical filtration like carbon or Purigen?
A: Yes! Matrix is fully compatible with Seachem carbon, Purigen, and other filter media. Just avoid stacking too tightly.

Q: Will Matrix work in high-flow filters?
A: Yes. Unlike denitrate, Matrix is effective in both high and low flow conditions.

Q: Does Matrix need to be replaced?
A: No. Matrix is inert and does not break down, meaning it lasts the life of the aquarium unless physically damaged.

Q: Is Matrix reef safe or suitable for planted tanks?
A: Absolutely. It is completely safe for all aquarium types, including reef and planted systems.
