seachem matrix vs biomax

[Bderick67]

Looks as if the BioMax has much more surface area then Matrix.


Eheim EHFISUBSTRAT with over 450 m2 per liter = 4842 sq. ft. of surface area per liter. Link a.

Seachem Matrix™ provides over 160,000 cm2 per liter = 170 sq. ft. of surface area per liter. Link b.

Hagan Biomax each ceramic ring contains at least 100 square feet of surface area x approx 66 rings per liter = 6600 sq. ft. of surface area per liter. Link c. Each 17.63 oz box contains approximately 100 ceramic cylinders - perfect for most mid-sized (approximately 1-1/2 L) media baskets. link d.

Surface area doesn't mean everything, at some point the pore size gets too small. Otherwise we would all use activated carbon, have you seen the surface area on that stuff!
