Coral Essentials Reef Zeolite 2L

Using zeolite in a marine aquarium offers several benefits, primarily related to water quality and biological filtration. Here are the key benefits:

• Ammonia and Nitrite Removal – Zeolite has a high capacity for adsorbing ammonia and nitrite, helping to detoxify the water and reduce toxic buildup, especially in new or stressed tanks.
• Improves Water Quality – By trapping ammonia and other nitrogenous wastes, zeolite contributes to clearer, healthier water conditions.
• Supports Biological Filtration – Zeolite can serve as a media for beneficial bacteria, aiding in biological filtration and biological turnover.
• Helps During Quarantine Periods – Zeolite is useful in temporarily controlling ammonia spikes when introducing new fish or during medicating.
• Reduces Fish Stress and Mortality – Lower ammonia and nitrite levels help reduce stress and improve survival rates for sensitive or new marine inhabitants.

Zeolite is useful for improving water quality, especially in managing ammonia and nitrite levels temporarily. It supports a healthier, less stressful environment for marine life during critical periods or in newly established tanks.

Our Coral Essentials Reef Zeolite is naturally occurring, marine grade, zeolite rock, in a handy 2L bucket. It is best used in a reactor, or can be used in filter bags in the sump as close as possible to the return outlet. Perfect for those looking to remove unwanted aquarium water elements and lower system nutrients in any marine aquarium or those wanting to maintain an ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient System). Care must be taken not to remove the phosphate/nitrate too quickly and shock the corals.

It is recommended to rinse the zeolite in freshwater before placing into a reactor or filter bag in your marine aquarium.
