Seachem Matrix Carbon 500ml

As with most other Seachem products this one is no different. I am using this in my Fluval 307 canister filter for my 45 gallon freshwater aquarium. I have decided to go with this to save on spending money on the Fluval charcoal inserts. So far I have been pleased with the performance of this product. I am using nylon bags in my filter and I have had no problems.

works better and longer than cheap carbon from the pet store. I use this, along with seachem purigen to keep my tanks crystal clean. nothing but the best for my turtles

I use this carbon for my turtle tank. We have two turtles a little bit larger than a silver dollar, and this carbon works great at keeping the tank from smelling and keeps the water very clean. I like the round shape of the pellets. Very uniform in size. You will like it. ENJOY.

What I expected

This is much cheaper than buying individual bags of charcoal. I bought the little bags here on Amazon and now all I have to do is fill them with carbon and replace the carbon monthly. This is so much more economical than buying pre-packaged carbon.

Every Seachem product Ive ever bought has some form of tamper seal. Even Matrix Carbon Ive bought in the past. First bottle has no tamper seal, replacement bottle was the same, both covered in carbon reside on the outside of the bottles. So dont know if Seachem changed their packing practices for Matrix Carbon or what the issue is. I however wouldnt use any product in my aquarium that doesnt have a tamper seal on it. Seachem is great overall but cant give this anything other then 1 star because of the condition it arrived in.

It clears my tank fast and removes toxins for a long time.

I have a filter that has to have charcoal in it replaced every couple of months and these are the right size to fit in it.

Definitely lasts longer that others carbon prod7cts.

Great product
