Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the Matrix carbon for the past 3 years in both freshwater and reef aquariums. It does a nice job keeping the water nice and clean. I use about 1 cup per 20 gallons in a mesh bag. You could use more or less depending on your bioload in the aquarium. The carbon should be placed in a area with high flow to make it work effectively at removing "stains" in the water. You can find low ash carbon for aquariums but it is very expensive. Also try the seachem "the Bag" as your mesh bag it is awesome... be sure to rinse the carbon prior to placing in the aquarium water.

Product Description:
MatrixCarbon™ is a truly unique activated carbon. It is formed as a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics, and will not pack. It permits maximum water flow and contact with its high density of macroporous binding sites. MatrixCarbon™ has a very low ash content as indicated by its minimal impact on pH. Even when added to distilled water, it does not raise pH above 7.0. While all carbons contain phosphate, regardless of false claims to the contrary, MatrixCarbon™ has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. MatrixCarbon™ outperforms other high grade carbons by at least two-fold when compared for total capacity to remove aquarium organic matter, rate of adsorption, and duration of use.
