Zeolite Aquarium Bio Media

Zeolite is a natural volcanic mineral widely used in aquariums for its chemical filtration properties. It has a porous structure that helps in removing ammonia, toxins, and odors while also serving as a surface for beneficial bacteria growth. Ideal for both freshwater and marine setups, Zeolite ensures cleaner water and a healthier environment for your fish.

🌊 Key Features

Ammonia removal – Absorbs harmful ammonia and nitrite, reducing fish stress.

Dual function – Works as both chemical filter media (absorbing toxins) and biological media (supports beneficial bacteria).

Porous structure – Provides a large surface area for nitrifying bacteria to colonize.

Crystal clear water – Removes impurities and odor, keeping water fresh.

Safe & natural – 100% natural volcanic mineral, aquarium-safe.

Versatile use – Suitable for canister filters, HOB filters, sump filters, and overhead filters.

🐠 Suitable For

  • Tank Size: Any freshwater or marine aquarium.

  • Best For: Community fish tanks, shrimp tanks, planted aquariums, cichlid tanks, goldfish tanks, and marine tanks.

⚠️ Not recommended for tanks where constant ammonia is required (e.g., cycling tanks or planted tanks needing ammonia for fertilizers).

⚙️ Specifications

  • Type: Natural Zeolite bio/chemical media

  • Filtration: Chemical + Biological

  • Primary Use: Ammonia and toxin removal

  • Size/Shape: Small porous stones (varies by brand)

  • Reusability: Can be recharged with saltwater soak (depends on usage)

  • Compatibility: Can be used in filter bags, trays, or chambers of any filter

🧱 Media Setup (Recommended Order)

  1. Mechanical Media (sponge/wool) – traps dirt before water reaches zeolite

  2. Zeolite (main layer) – absorbs ammonia & supports bacteria

  3. Biological Media (ceramic rings, bio balls, etc.) – for long-term stability

  4. Chemical Media (activated carbon, optional) – for polishing water

👉 Place Zeolite after mechanical filtration for best results.

🔧 How to Use

  1. Rinse Zeolite thoroughly in clean water before use (to remove dust).

  2. Place inside a filter bag or chamber in your filter.

  3. Replace or recharge every 4–6 weeks, depending on bioload.

  4. Do not replace all media at once (to avoid bacterial loss).

🧼 Maintenance

  • Recharge by soaking in saltwater for 24 hours (optional, depends on brand).

  • Replace when pores are clogged or absorption capacity is exhausted.

  • Rinse gently in aquarium water during filter cleaning.

📦 What’s in the Pack

  • Natural Zeolite stones (pre-washed, ready for use)

  • Mesh media bag (included with some brands)

Why Choose Zeolite?

Zeolite is an essential aquarium bio-media for controlling ammonia spikes and keeping your water crystal clear. It’s especially useful in new aquariums, high bioload tanks (goldfish, cichlids), shrimp tanks, and marine setups where water quality must remain stable.

👉 Best for chemical + biological filtration to keep aquariums healthy and balanced
