Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix™ provides as much surface (\u0026gt;~700 m\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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":"DFW Aquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42364615360578,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2364\/3815\/files\/000116011600_7d3f5eb4-b058-4e97-b592-c99ad800fe92.jpg?v=1754249943","url":"https:\/\/tkaquatics.com\/products\/seachem-matrix-250ml","provider":"TK Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
