Why Use MatrixCarbon?

Activated carbon is commonly used to help remove dissolved organics, odors, discoloration, and certain contaminants from aquarium water. Seachem MatrixCarbon is designed to provide efficient chemical filtration while maintaining strong water flow through the filter.

The Tidal 75 MatrixCarbon Cartridge makes carbon replacement simple by providing a pre-fit cartridge designed specifically for the Seachem Tidal 75 filter chamber.

Directions for Use

1. Rinse the cartridge briefly before use to remove any carbon dust.
2. Place the cartridge into the Seachem Tidal 75 filter chamber.
3. Position it where water flows evenly through the media.
4. Replace every 3–4 weeks or sooner if water clarity, odor, or aquarium conditions require it.
5. Remove carbon before dosing medications or treatments unless the product instructions say otherwise.

Maintenance Tips

• Use carbon as part of a complete filtration setup with mechanical and biological media.
• Do not rely on carbon alone for aquarium filtration.
• Replace once saturated; carbon cannot be fully recharged by rinsing.
• Remove before adding medications, as carbon can absorb many treatments.
• Resume carbon use after treatment is complete and water changes have been performed.
