Product description said that Matrix will trap Nitrate also can keep it as biological media, so will it ability absorb nitrate exhausted overtime?
It does reach a limit though where it needs to e rinsed in bleach otherwise it stops removing nitrates.hehehe I'm asking about it cause I'll need to replace my Bio Media soon, if it can absorb Nitrate even just small amount of nitrate then it would be better than nothing.
I'm using Fluval Bio media that look like lava rock, it got dirty over time and cause little hole on it I can't rinse or wash to keep it clean.Why are you replacing biomedia? Biomedia should be good for the life of the tank.

I'm understand Matrix is a bio media, I was wonder about it Nitrate absorb ability. Does that ability get exhaust because Nitrate is unlimited any tanks? and what's about Nitrate getting trap inside matrix? Does it release it out as an unharmful element?Seachem Matrix is bio media. It doesn't get "full." You use that and you don't bleach it. From time to time if it gets covered in mulm, it's ok to swish it around in a bucket of tank water (not tap water) then put it back in the filter. Matrix has BB in it, so bleaching or rinsing in tap water is forbidden. Matrix is typically placed in the filter.
