## Overview

Seachem Matrix Carbon is a premium, spherical activated carbon designed for aquarium filtration. Its unique macroporous structure and low ash content ensure maximum water flow, minimal pH disruption, and the lowest leachable phosphate levels available. Delivering twice the filtration capacity and longevity compared to standard carbons, it’s the go-to choice for professional-grade aquatic care.

## 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. While carbon is generally considered to be a chemical filter, that is not precisely true. It is in fact a mechanical filter as well, but it is only capable of mechanically filtering objects of molecular size. It functions through extremely small cracks and crevices, called macropores and micropores. Microporous carbons remove primarily metals and smaller ions like trace minerals and are best suited to air filtration, while macroporous carbons remove primarily larger organic molecules like nitrogenous waste and are best suited to water filtration. The ingredients from which a carbon is manufactured determine whether it will be macro or microporous. Carbons made from coconut shell and other organic products form microporous carbons, while carbons made from bituminous coal form macroporous carbons. MatrixCarbon is a bituminous coal based, macroporous carbon. It is the only spherical carbon on the market, allowing for maximum water flow. It is sized to allow full penetration by water, but not small enough to escape filter bags. All carbons contain phosphate. However, that phosphate DOES NOT come from washing the carbon with phosphoric acid. Most carbons are washed with sulfuric acid. The phosphate is contained in the ash from the carbon source. The main purpose of acid washing is to remove ash. Because of MatrixCarbon's hydrodynamic properties, more ash is washed from our carbon than any other. Therefore, it has the lowest leachable phosphate on the market. Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L

Review: This is a great product for my crab tank. I like that I do not have to store large bags of salt.
Review: Only been a few days, no changes yet.

Bigger the tub, better the value. Lets just get that obvious statement out of the way. With that in mind Seachem Carbon can be bought at a good price which is very good to know considering you are buying the best. I pour mine into a Seachem "The Bag" filter media bag. When you pour this carbon from the pot to the bag there is no cloud of carbon dust. That alone brings a smile to my face. Rinsing is quick as the initial cloud of black goes away almost instantly, another smile on my face. The result is crystal clear water with no odor or residue and it works for months. The water purity you get from this carbon is amazing. One big happy smile. Thank you Seachem.
