Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix™ provides as much surface (\u0026gt;~700 m 2 ) 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 Matrix™, unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter. Matrix™ is completely inert and will not breakdown. It need not be replaced. Since the majority of the bacteria are internal, Matrix™ may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter. Matrix™ is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand: Seachem; Product type: Filter Media; Cleaned for Supabase and Shopify import; Variant: Volume: 250ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand: Seachem; SKU: 5852; UPC: 000116011600; Type: Filter Media; Variant information: Volume: 250ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"250ml \/ 20L","offer_id":51854311129409,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/8968\/2497\/files\/media_c4329613-4228-4e22-82f0-767619036d9b.jpg?v=1781781301","url":"https:\/\/lawnandpets.com\/products\/seachem-matrix","provider":"Lawn and Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
