MatrixCarbon is a truly unique activated carbon. It is formed as a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics, and will not pack. It permits maximum water flow and contact with its high density of macroporous binding sites. MatrixCarbon has a very low ash content as indicated by its minimal impact on pH. Even when added to distilled water, it does not raise pH above 7.0. While all carbons contain phosphate, regardless of false claims to the contrary, MatrixCarbon has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. MatrixCarbon outperforms other high grade carbons by at least two-fold when compared for total capacity to remove aquarium organic matter.
I purchased 2 of these lights to go on a 40 long tank and I like the look of the lights sitting above overhead the tank.
Of course they have 2 settings one which is a soft blue for evening.
The quality and price have pleased me too.
Guppies loved it and I think my puffer will need a few more tries to take to the frozen daphnia, but she’s a diva about all foods until she’s tried them a few times.
