Blue Thumb Replacement Matala Filter Mats

Matala Mat Kit Green for Blue Thumb Waterfall Boxes

Fills the Waterfall Box biological media space for maximum surface area. Replaces mesh bag and optional contents.

A good biofilter needs a lot of surface area with open spaces between for good aerated water flow. A high surface area is useless if the passageways are so small that water flow cannot penetrate.

The Green Matala can follow thereby trapping a medium size particle. Both Green and Black clean out very easily by simply shaking the pieces out before draining the sump.

When you use the Black or Green Matala® for solids filtering you may use the garden hose to spray clean them. The dirt falls off very easily.

MATALA FILTER MEDIA

Matala® is a cutting edge filter media that was specifically designed for use in aquaculture and Koi keeping. Matala® works great both as a mechanical media and as a biological media. As a mechanical filtration it collects debris more efficiently and prevents clogging. Because its fibers are solid they resist sludge build up and are a snap to clean. As a biological media it provides a tremendous amount of surface area. It can be easily cut with a sharp knife and custom shaped to fit in almost any filter.

• Advanced filter technology for increasing the efficiency of skimmers and other mechanical filters
• Maximizes the efficiency of biological filters by creating more surface area for beneficial bacteria
• Use multiple mats in your skimmer for more thorough filtration and less frequent filter maintenance
