Seachem Matrix Carbon is an ideal choice for aquarium hobbyists using Seachem Tidal power filters who require superior water clarity and chemical purification. Its standout benefit is the spherical bead design which prevents flow restriction, though users must note that it requires a thorough initial rinse to remove fine particulate dust before installation.

While designed specifically for the Tidal 35-110 series, the media can be used in any filter that accepts loose media bags, provided the bag size fits your specific filter basket.
While 150 mL can treat 400 L for several months, replacement frequency depends on your aquarium's bioload. We recommend monitoring water clarity and replacing every 2-3 months.
No, Seachem Matrix Carbon is specifically manufactured with very low ash content to minimize its impact on the pH of your aquarium water.
Yes, it is standard practice to remove all chemical filtration media, including carbon, during medical treatments as it will absorb the medication from the water.
Yes, the bag is constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant material designed to be opened, emptied, and refilled multiple times.
This is likely due to residual dust. Ensure the bag was thoroughly rinsed under tap water until the water ran clear before placement.
Check if the bag is positioned correctly in the basket. Ensure no other media is pressing against the intake/output ports and that the bag is not overstuffed.
To prepare the media, remove the pouch from the packaging and rinse it thoroughly under tap water until the runoff is clear to remove any shipping dust. Once rinsed, place the zipper bag directly into the designated filter basket of your Seachem Tidal 35, 55, 75, or 110. To maintain the life of the media, inspect the zipper bag during your monthly water change to ensure the mesh remains intact and free of debris. When the carbon reaches the end of its effectiveness, simply open the zipper bag, discard the exhausted media, refill with fresh Matrix Carbon, and secure the bag for continued use.
