The Black Matala® filter media can be used as a support grate for other layers of media due to its very sturdy and open design. In a settling chamber the Black Matala filter media will slow down and trap very large particles and hair algae.

Matala is a progressive filter media that is self supporting and multifunctional. Used for prefiltering, mechanical filter media, biological filtration, spawning mat, plant protection, and as a support for other filter medias. Uniquely versatile, Matala filters are easy to work with and can fit most all filtration needs.

The various densities can be used in sequence or separately for unique filtration requirements. This is one of the greatest characteristics which Matala filters have to offer. No other media on the market can perform this step-wise filtration. Matala filter media effectively separates large particles to small and still maintains a very aerobic and free flow of water without channeling.

The Blue Matala® filter media 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.

The Green Matala filter media can follow thereby trapping a medium size particle. Both Green and Black Matala® filter media 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.

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.

Matala media works perfectly with upflow filter designs. The ideal configuration would be the Matala® 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® densities to achieve better solids removal or better biological filtering depending on the tank capacity. A Green piece next to a Gray piece for example will give good flow around the Gray one and trap solids in the Green one.
