Seachem Matrix is a high-porosity biological filtration media designed for aquarium hobbyists seeking superior nitrogenous waste removal. It is ideal for both freshwater and marine environments, providing a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to thrive and eliminate ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. While it offers incredible efficiency and does not require periodic replacement, users must ensure it is placed in an area with adequate water flow to function at its peak potential.

No, Seachem Matrix does not need to be replaced. It is a permanent biological media.
A 4-liter container is sufficient to treat up to 1600 liters of aquarium water. You can scale this based on your specific tank volume.
Yes, it is excellent for sumps. Placing it in an area with appropriate flow or a reactor can maximize its potential.
Seachem Matrix is chemically inert and will not have any impact on the pH of your aquarium water.
No, you should only wash the media in used aquarium water to protect the beneficial bacteria colonies living on the surface.
Ensure the media is placed in a zone with low water flow to encourage anaerobic bacteria growth, or verify that your mechanical filtration is successfully removing detritus before it reaches the Matrix.
The media was likely not rinsed thoroughly enough before the initial setup. Perform a water change and ensure the filter is working properly to catch the loose particles.
To set up Seachem Matrix, place the media inside a filter bag to make cleaning and removal easier. Before placing it into your filter, rinse the media thoroughly with aquarium or de-chlorinated water to remove any dust created during transport. Seachem Matrix is compatible with all freshwater and saltwater aquariums. For maintenance, you can periodically rinse the media in a bucket of tank water during your regular filter cleaning; avoid using tap water, as the chlorine will kill the beneficial bacteria living inside the pores.
