Seachem MatrixCarbon

$90.00

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
