I have been a fan of matrix and pond matrix for many years. My family recently bought a home with an existing 600gal pond. The pond was overstocked (20+ fish) and did not stay very clear even with weekly water changes. I added 4L of pond matrix to my waterfall overflow. Technically the instructions call for 1L per 100gal, but I already had a pressure filter on the pond. The pond began clearing up in just several days. I was expecting more time before seeing results, but I was pleasantly surprised. My nitrates are not 0, but are staying

It works. I know its called Pond Matrix, but I use it for my 55 gallon aquarium because I liked the larger size bits over the smaller sized bits in the regular Matrix . I used all of it in the top 2 trays of my Perfect (SunSun) 403B canister filter. You also have to remember that this doesnt do anything by it self. Its just media for benificial bacteria to colonize. I did a fishless cycle with a bottle of Tetra Safe Start Plus, and a dosage of Ace Hardware janitorial strenghth ammonia and it started cycling within a week. By the third week I added some fish and now I'm going into the 3 month and its still going strong so I know the bacteria has settled in nice and comfy on and in the Pond Matrix. I wouldn't recomend this for HOB filters though (unless its one of the bigger 70 or 110 sizes maybe) I would go with the regular matrix in this case, but this is perfect for Canister Filters, Sumps, and whatever filters ponds use. Now if only the Diatomes would leave....

Great product I use in my wet dry sump bio balls removed after this cycled for 1 month in my mixed reef saltwater tank .Nitrates are non exsistant now.I run pads in my drip plate.Water is clear and my mixed reef is much more stable in bio processing.Run this with a protein skimmer and it is wonderful .

I have been using Pond Matrix in my reef system now for about six months. I grow corals for future sale , and need to have extremely low nutrient levels in my water. Pond Matrix promotes the growth of huge quantities of NITRIFICATING and DENITRIFICATING bacteria. My nitrates were running consistently at about 40ppm , and I needed to get them down to as close to zero as possible . In my search to find the ideal way to reduce nitrates naturally , I came across Pond Matrix , so I ordered a 4liter bucket and placed it in my filter. At first , I thought that I had wasted my money. My nitrates didn't go down at all for the longest time. However , I left it in my filter and continued to maintain the aquarium as I would normally ,with regular testing . After about 10 weeks , I noticed the nitrate dropping like a rock. After 12 weeks ,I no longer had any detectable nitrate! I feed my fish and corals now without fear. My corals look amazing and grow like weeds. My fish are fat and happy. I am very pleased by the results that I have gotten with Pond Matrix , I recommend it to anyone trying to control their nitrate levels ,or anyone with an aquarium or pond.

I just started a 1500 gln pond about 5 months ago. Stocked it with some goldfish and koi, used lava rock as a media for my biofalls, and added microbe lift PBL to colonize the lava rock. No matter how much beneficial bacteria i added, my pond water got worse. i couldn't even see the bottom of my 4 ft deep pond. tried to figure out why the bacteria wasn't working. Then i decided to try this seachem POND MATRIX, and boy am i glad i did!!All i purchased was this 1 gallon bucket and placed it in the bio-falls and performed a 40% water change. I have an Atlantic SKimmer and Atlantic Bio-falls. Removed the lava rock and replaced it with SEACHEM POND MATRIX. Within a couple of days i could see a difference in the water clarity. After 5 days, my pond is CRYSTAL CLEAR!! And i mean Crystal clear!!! Fish are happy as well as me with the quality and effectiveness of this product.So if you are having issues with cloudy water, try this stuff out. It truly lives up to it's claim!!

Great price and delivery was fast. I'm using it in an Eheim Classic cannister filter and the fish are really happy. Didn't take long for bacteria to propagate in an established aquarium.Matrix is known for keeping nitrates in check but I haven't used it long enough to test how effective it is at nitrate reduction. I usually use Eheim Substrat Pro in my cannisters and this seems to be just as effective.I would highly recommend this product if you want a high quality bio-media for an aquarium/pond cannister or trickle filter.
