Zeolith is a natural silica-based zeolite used as a high-performance filter material in marine aquariums. Its extremely porous structure provides an exceptional exchange surface, promoting the development of organisms involved in the nitrogen cycle.
Natural silica mineral with a feldspathic structure.
Internal and external surface area can reach 600 cm² per cm³.
Ion exchange action, especially on ammonium.
Controlled granulation from 4 to 8 mm.
Due to its high porosity, Zeolith acts as both a biological and mechanical filter. It allows the adsorption of heavy metals and toxic compounds, which are then biologically broken down by bacteria colonizing its surface.
Its use contributes to the stabilization of water parameters and the optimization of the nitrogen cycle in the marine aquarium.
Standard dosage: 1 L of Zeolith for 400 L of aquarium water.
During the first use, introduction should be gradual, with a cumulative addition of 10% of the total amount each week.
After a 3-month usage period, the zeolite can be completely replaced.
| Aquarium Volume | Amount of Zeolith | Introduction Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 200 L | 0.5 L | Gradual introduction |
| 400 L | 1 L | Gradual introduction |
| 800 L | 2 L | Gradual introduction |
| 1,200 L | 3 L | Gradual introduction |
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Nature of the Material | Natural silica-based zeolite |
| Specific Surface Area | Up to 600 cm² per cm³ |
| Granulation | 4 to 8 mm |
| Type of Filtration | Biological and mechanical |
Place the zeolite in an internal or external filtration compartment with a moderate and constant water flow. Avoid excessive flow rates that could reduce biological efficiency.
Adhere to the recommended usage duration to ensure optimal exchange capacity.
Zeolith Grotech is intended for use in marine aquariums as part of a controlled and gradual filtration process.
