Why Use Matrix in Your Tidal Filter?
Biological filtration is one of the most important parts of a healthy aquarium. Beneficial bacteria living on filter media help convert harmful waste compounds into less toxic forms, supporting clearer and more stable aquarium water.
Seachem Matrix provides a highly porous structure that gives bacteria room to colonize. Using a Matrix cartridge in your Tidal 110 helps strengthen your filter’s biological capacity and supports long-term aquarium stability.
Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the cartridge only as needed to remove debris and restore water flow.
- Use aquarium water or dechlorinated water when rinsing biological media.
- Do not rinse Matrix with untreated tap water, as chlorine or chloramine can harm beneficial bacteria.
- Avoid replacing all biological media at once.
- Pair with mechanical foam, carbon, Purigen, or other media as needed for a complete filtration setup.
