Seachem MatrixCarbon is a highly unique, spherical granular activated carbon (GAC) engineered to remove dissolved organic molecules, discoloration, medications, and toxic heavy metals from both marine and freshwater aquariums. Unlike traditional bituminous or coconut-shell carbons which are crushed into irregular, dusty shards, MatrixCarbon is formed into macro-porous beads. This shape maximizes internal water flow and provides high volumetric efficiency without compacting or restriction. [
Core Technical Specifications
Physical Geometry: Formulated as clean, uniform spherical beads to allow water to flow freely around and through the media.
Total Surface Area Capacity: Provides a massive adsorptive capacity, driven by an internal pore network optimized for capturing organic waste molecules.
Ultra-Low Phosphate Impact: MatrixCarbon features the lowest soluble phosphate leaching rate on the market. This minimizes the risk of accidentally fueling aggressive hair algae or cyanobacteria blooms when replacing old carbon.
Neutral Water Parameter Inertia: Completely ash-free and pH-neutral, ensuring it will not cause sudden changes in your aquarium's baseline alkalinity or pH
