Matrix™ is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Every Tidal™ filter comes with a bag of Matrix™ to get you started.

Rapidly removes phosphate & silicate
Ferric oxide coated aluminum oxide phosphate adsorber
High porosity and surface area give it a large binding capacity

The Foam Filter Sponge acts as mechanical filtration, trapping detritus and other large particulates. It is your first stage of filtration, and its use will help extend the life of chemical filtration media.

Highest organic removal capacity
Possesses enhanced capacity owing to its vast surface area; both spherical and macroreticular
Helps control ammonia/nitrite/nitrate
Color changes as it exhausts; easily regenerated

Removes silicate and phosphate
Spherical for optimal hydrodynamics
Irreversible binding
