 Super High
Density
The Gray Matala® Filter mats will
filter out a much smaller particle and yet still maintain good flow distribution. In
larger systems all four types can be used in sequence to essentially remove all
solids.
Matala media works perfectly with upflow filter designs. The ideal
configuration would be the Matala® filter media stood
vertically rather than flat. This allows for easier cleaning. All you do is grab an
individual piece and shake it up and down to clean it. If your filter chamber is
packed to tight, take out one piece first.
Laid flat you will have to
remove all the pieces to get to the bottom dirty piece. Stagger your vertical pieces
with different Matala mat densities to achieve better solids removal or better
biological filtering depending on the tank capacity. A Green piece next to a Grey
piece for example will give good flow around the Grey one and trap solids in the
Green one. |
