Pond Matrix™
- High
capacity biofiltration
- Controls
ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
- Highly
porous - enormous surface area (160,000 cm2/L)
- Supports
aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species
Pond Matrix™ is a high porosity biomedia that provides
efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste in ponds. Plastic
bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Pond Matrix™ provides
internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the
support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Pond Matrix™,
unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and
nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter. Pond Matrix™ is completely
inert and will not breakdown. It need not be replaced. It is also more suitable
for use as a clean soil replacement for growing pond plants. Use 1–2 Liters of
Pond Matrix™ for each 100 US gallons. Since the majority of the bacteria are
internal, Pond Matrix™ may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter.
Pond Matrix™ is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.
