Seachem Zeolite 250mL

Product details

Seachem Zeolite 250mL (1272) is a naturally occurring, highly porous zeolite filter media designed to help control aquarium water quality by binding ammonia and heavy metals. It works via an ion exchange mechanism, making it useful in established filtration setups where ammonia and certain metal contaminants are a concern. Zeolite is commonly placed in areas of strong, consistent water movement (such as canister or media chambers) so water flows through the porous structure efficiently for best performance.

Features:

• Naturally occurring, highly porous mineral media for filtration
• Binds ammonia and heavy metals through an ion exchange mechanism
• High ammonia binding capacity compared to other available zeolites (as described by the supplier)
• Designed not to deplete calcium in saltwater and not to increase general hardness in freshwater
• Best used after rinsing to prepare the media before installation
• Use in filter canisters, media chambers, box filters, or other high-flow areas such as trickle filters
• Recommended to use a filter bag (such as Seachem’s bag or Zip Bag) for easy handling and media containment
