Seachem Pond Matrix 1L

Product details

Seachem Pond Matrix 1L (2117) is a high-porosity biomedia designed for pond biofiltration. It provides extensive internal surface area for beneficial bacteria that help process nitrogenous waste in a pond filtration system. In practical use, Pond Matrix™ can be used as part of wet or wet-dry filter setups to support biological filtration and help manage ammonia and nitrite, and also nitrate when the media is properly installed and working within the filter’s biological environment.

Features:

• High-capacity biofiltration media intended to support removal of ammonia and nitrite in ponds
• Highly porous structure with internal macropores that provide space for beneficial nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria
• Designed to support nitrate removal along with ammonia and nitrite within the same filter media
• Highly porous internal surface area (not just external surface), which increases available space for bacterial colonization
• Completely inert bio-material that is described as not breaking down, so it need not be replaced under normal use
• Compatible with wet and wet-dry filter types
• Because much of the bacterial activity is internal, it may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter
