Zeolite

🧪 Usage Instructions

Initial Setup

1. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove dust.
2. Place in a filter bag or directly into a filter where water flows freely (e.g., canister, hang-on-back, or internal filter).
3. Use 500 mL per 100–200 L (25–50 US gallons) depending on ammonia levels.
4. Safe for use during cycling or after water quality issues to help detoxify excess ammonia.

Maintenance Dosing

• Regenerate once saturated by soaking in a 5% saltwater solution (e.g., 40g of non-iodized salt in 800mL water) for 24 hours, then rinse well before reuse.
• Replace if physical breakdown or performance drops over time.
• Not recommended for marine aquariums due to interference with saltwater chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use Zeolite in a saltwater tank?
A: No. Zeolite is best suited for freshwater. In saltwater, its ammonia-binding capacity is significantly reduced.

Q: How do I know when to regenerate Zeolite?
A: Monitor ammonia levels. If levels begin to rise or remain high, it’s time to regenerate or replace the media.

Q: Can Zeolite be used in planted tanks?
A: Yes, but only if ammonia levels are high. In stable, cycled planted tanks, biological filtration usually suffices.

Q: Will Zeolite remove other toxins besides ammonia?
A: Primarily, Zeolite targets ammonia. For organics and other toxins, pair with activated carbon.

Q: Is it safe to use Zeolite during tank cycling?
A: Yes. Zeolite can help reduce initial ammonia spikes, but it should be removed gradually as the biological filter matures.
