MatrixCarbone 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. MatrixCarbone 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, MatrixCarbone has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. MatrixCarbone 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. This product is sold by volume. Cited weight is minimal weight 500 mL will easily treat 800 L (200 gallons*) for several months. MatrixCarbone is very clean and nearly dust free. For best results, MatrixCarbone should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it. It may be used in a canister filter, chemical filtration module, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. Royal Item Number: ASM103
