Matrix ™ is a high -porosity biomedia which provides effective biofiltration for the elimination of nitrogen waste. Matrix ™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix ™ offers as much surface (> ~ 700 m 2 ) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic biomaterials provide only an external surface, while Matrix ™ provides an external and internal macroporous surface. These macropores are ideally dimensioned for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Matrix ™, unlike other forms of biodias, to eliminate nitrate with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter.
Matrix ™ is completely inert and will not decompose. He doesn't need to be replaced. Since the majority of bacteria are internal, Matrix ™ can be rinsed if necessary without damaging the filter. Matrix ™ is compatible with all types of wet or dry filters.
Use 250 ml of Matrix ™ for each 200 L (50 Gallons US) ** of water. Matrix ™ can be placed in any type of filter and is particularly effective in a cartridge filter. Matrix ™ is large enough for no filtering bag to be required for most applications. Matrix ™ works well in drainage tank systems, but you may find that the larger matrix ™ pond is better suited to such applications. Use with Stability® to establish bio-filter faster.
