Hi all,

Just wondering is there any avid user of Seachem Products such as MatrixCarbon/PhosGuard/SeaGel?

Any feedbacks on the effectiveness?

Thanks...

I have used Seachem Matrix in my 2x1x1 FOWLR and 3x2x2 reef tanks previously and they have never been effective in reducing the nitrates in my tanks. I only managed to reduce my nitrates through using AZ NO3 and later Prodibio Bio Clean and Bio Digest.

My Setup:

3x2x2 tank with IOS

Equipment List:

Chiller: Artica 1/5HP

Chiller Pump: Sicce 4000

Return Pump: OR3500

Skimmer: Deltec APF600

Wavemaker: Tunze Wavebox/2x Hydor K2/SCWD wavemaker

Lights: DElighting 2x150W MH + 2x 39W T5 Atinic

FR: Skimz

FR Pump: Atman AT-104

Tubby ATO, Kalkweisser Reactor with magnetic stirrer.

no experience with the others except matrix carbon--bad... matrix carbon more like many broken pieces than standard size pellets...many powdery particles...need rinse many times...easily break apart and slip out of 1mm hole media bags and my red sea prism media basket...uneven size...

going back to brightwell carbonit-P...nice standard size...last longer and very obvious better clarity in tank all other things being equal..using same amount..
