Uniquely formed as spherical beads for optimum hydrodynamics, this carbon media prevents packing and allows maximum water flow. Its high density of macroporous binding sites effectively removes dissolved organics, enhancing water clarity and quality for both freshwater and saltwater aquatics environments.
With an exceptionally low ash content, Seachem Matrix Carbon maintains stable pH levels and boasts the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content among major carbon brands, making it a superior choice for sensitive aquatic ecosystems.
For best results, rinse the carbon media before use but keep it inside its mesh bag. Lay the bag lengthwise and distribute the media evenly before placing it in your filter basket, ideally positioned below any biological filtration media. This setup optimizes filtration efficiency and supports a healthy aquatic habitat.
