Round Matala is the perfect "drop in" media for vortex filters and barrel filters. Round Matala has the same qualities as the sheets of Matala in a coiled pre-cut cartridge.

Simply select the diameter roll and the density you need for your round tank and drop it in. Round Matala will naturally wedge in place without any need for support. Four sequential densities can be perfectly employed to achieve maximum solids/biofiltration.

Each roll is 6 inches thick with a tremendous potential to trap dirt, and yet is super easy to clean. The open structure of the media provides excellent flow-through without channeling. Since most round tanks are also rather tall you can stratify Matala in sequential layers to make best use of the chamber.

The various densities can be used in sequence or separately for unique filtration requirements. This is one of the greatest characteristics which Matala has to offer.

No other media on the market can perform this step-wise filtration. Matala effectively separates large particles to small and still maintains a very aerobic and free flow of water without channeling.

Matala is slightly buoyant and will not sink to the bottom of your filter. Matala stood vertically on end will not float. Matala stacked horizontally will hold each other down. Due to it's rigidity the Matala can be wedged in place in the filter without support.
