Zeolite Seachem 250 ml

Zeolite 100ml SEACHEM

- Binds ammonia and heavy metals
- Highest ammonia binding capacity of all zeolites
- Removes harmful metal ions such as lead, copper, nickel, and zinc
- Marine and freshwater

Overview

Seachem Zeolite is a highly porous natural mineral that binds ammonia and heavy metals through an ion exchange mechanism.

It has the highest ammonia binding capacity of all available zeolites; ten times higher than some products and twice the capacity of the nearest competitor.

It will not deplete calcium in saltwater and will not increase general hardness in freshwater where ionic strength is low.

Sizes: 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L

Instructions

For best results, Seachem Zeolite should be rinsed before use and placed in a way that maximizes water flow through it but not so that it tumbles against itself during flow.

It can be used in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high-flow area of a trickle filter. It is recommended to use a filter bag such as The Bag™ or Zip Bag™ from Seachem.

Use 250 ml (1 cup) of Seachem Zeolite™ for every 200 L (50 US gallons).

For small aquariums, the equivalent dose is 5 ml (1 level teaspoon) per 4 L (1 US gallon).

This amount of Seachem Zeolite™ will remove up to 0.5 mg/L of ammonia. Monitor ammonia levels, which should drop to zero within 24 to 48 hours.

At this point, the zeolite can be removed or replaced with activated carbon, such as Seachem MatrixCarbon™.

For heavy metal removal, leave in service and replace monthly. For long-term ammonia control, use Seachem Stability® and Matrix™. Use Ammonia Alert® or MultiTest™ Free & Total Ammonia to directly monitor free ammonia levels.
