Description
Seachem Matrix
Seachem Matrix is a high porosity biomedia. Which provides efficient biofiltration. Excellent for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Furthermore, Matrix is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each litre of Seachem Matrix provides over 700m² of surface, equivalent to over 170 litres of typical plastic ball media. Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area. Where as Matrix provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. This supports nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Seachem 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 break down. And will not need to be replaced. Can be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter. Since the majority of the bacteria are internal.
Matrix is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.
- High capacity biofiltration
- Controls ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
- Highly porous – enormous surface area (>~700Â m2/L)
- Supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species
Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L
Directions:
Use 250 mL of Seachem Matrix for each 200L of water. Particularly effective in a canister filter or any other kind of filter. Matrix works well in drip tray systems. You can also use the larger Pond Matrix. Moreover, Seachem Matrix is large enough that no filter bag should be required. Lastly, use Seachem Stability to more rapidly establish the bio-filter.
McMerwe’s Comment: Seachem Matrix is great for beneficial bacteria to grow on. Also, providing a large surface area. [Rating 5/5]

Verified owner Vincent Keys (verified owner) –
I swear by Matrix every filter I have has matrix. By far my favourite Bio Media!
Verified owner Jason Annandale (verified owner) –
Using this media in DoPhin Canister, Tidal HOB filter, and cheap internal filter. There’s nothing else like it out there. Sure, cheaper…till you have to replace those bio media options away six months later. Visit McMerwe, look at how crystal clear their tanks are, along with how healthy the plants and livestock look, Seachem Matrix, that’s one of their proven-secrets.
Verified owner Werner Haasbroek (verified owner) –
Thank you Jacques for the great recommendation on using the Seachem Matrix best biofilter media you can buy. Highly recommended.

Worms well as a filter medium
Verified owner Gustav Linde (verified owner) –
We used the matrix in the DoPhin Canister Filter. The water is super clear!
I would recommend using this product in a mesh bag though (to prevent small bits escaping into the tank).
Verified owner Andrew Ferguson (verified owner) –
I use Seachem Matrix in a Tetra Ex800 canister filter along with a small bag of Seachem Purigen and my water is crystal clear. Highly recommended !
Verified owner Kyle (verified owner) –
After adding Matrix to my filter my water has never looked better, really great product.
