Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix™ provides as much surface (\u0026gt;~700 m2) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Matrix™ provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows 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 breakdown. It need not be replaced. Since the majority of the bacteria are internal, Matrix™ may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter. Matrix™ is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.","brand":"Reef Addiction","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":64085769027933,"sku":"K278729","price":7.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ml","offer_id":64085769060701,"sku":"8591488","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/1148\/3741\/files\/original_848bde2f-6a2d-42e4-8396-04eed90a3cbb.jpg?v=1775251330"},{"product_id":"seachem-de-nitrate-500ml","title":"Seachem de❊nitrate 500ml","description":"de❊nitrate™ is an economical, natural, porous material with a pore distribution and geometry that promotes both aerobic nitrification within the first few millimeters of depth and anaerobic denitrification at the core. The material has a high surface area and supports a high density of bacteria. Although de❊nitrate™ has capacity to trap nitrate, this, as with other nitrate retaining materials, such as certain zeolites and synthetic resins, is quite limited and the primary mechanism of nitrate removal is anaerobic.“Live” rocks or reef rocks remove nitrate by anaerobic denitrification. de❊nitrate™ removes nitrate by the same process. Efficiency is magnified several folds by forcing the water to filter through the porous de❊nitrate™. As with reef rock, anaerobic conditions are achieved by the porosity and the depletion of oxygen by the aerobic process at the surface. Excessive flow rates should, therefore, be avoided, as they may impede development of an adequate anaerobic environment to support denitrifying bacteria.de❊nitrate™ is also an excellent media for aerobic nitrification and it makes an ideal biological filter in drip trays, canister filters, sumps, or even box filters. At high flow rates (greater than 100 US gallons per hour), it will function solely as an aerobic filter. At slow flow rates (less than 50 US gallons per hour), it will function as both an aerobic filter and an anaerobic denitrifying filter.","brand":"Reef Addiction","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":64085769093469,"sku":"840989Z","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/1148\/3741\/files\/original_54ceea71-cfcb-4811-b9b0-913f3449cd7f.jpg?v=1775251330"},{"product_id":"mantis-bio-filter-sphere","title":"Mantis Bio-Filter Sphere","description":"Advanced Material: Inert ceramic with open-flow architecture for optimal water circulation.\nMaximum Surface Area: Supports extensive bacterial growth for effective bio-filtration.\nHigh Efficiency: Outperforms traditional filtration media with improved results.","brand":"Reef Addiction","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":64088430969181,"sku":"C598118","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2kg","offer_id":64088431001949,"sku":"434429L","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/1148\/3741\/files\/original_8b82b8f4-3711-4db0-a0b7-1706630250d7.jpg?v=1775293892"}],"url":"https:\/\/reefaddiction.co.uk\/collections\/filtration-biological-media.oembed","provider":"Reef Addiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
