Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix™ provides as much surface (\u0026gt;~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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatrix™ 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","brand":"Aqua Premium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68055795531907,"sku":"000116011303","price":20.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0381\/8255\/1683\/files\/Alex-Rik-Luke-Website_58f08229-49a2-425d-918f-ebed30c8165a.png?v=1792835956","url":"https:\/\/www.marineplusaquariums.com.au\/products\/seachem-matrix-500ml","provider":"Marine Plus Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
