Matrix Carbon is an activated carbon medium for keepers who need chemical filtration that does not disturb water chemistry. It is intended for aquarists who want to remove organic compounds from their water without raising pH or adding phosphates.
Why it matters
- Low ash content: the carbon releases little dust and has a low ash content, so it has only a minimal effect on water pH.
- Stable pH: even when added to distilled water, it does not push pH above 7.0.
- Low phosphate content: according to the manufacturer, it contains the lowest phosphate level of carbon products available on the market.
- Dust-free and clean: the medium does not pulverise, which keeps the water clear after installation.
