Aquarium Water Quality

In the confines of an aquarium, the waste produced by the fish can quickly build up to harmful levels without an effective filtration system.Daily visual checks are vital; any unexpected change in the appearance or behavior of your fish may indicate that there is a problem.
For example, if the gills of a fish become brown instead of the normal pink, it is likely that there’s too much nitrite in the water. This will interfere with the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen.
Applying zeolite technologies for livestock-fish integrated systems should improve sustainability by increasing nutrient utilization efficiencies while reducing undesirable farm outputs.
Most of the nitrogen entering a farm as animal feeds ends up as ammonia in manure, which is either volatilized creating noxious odors or leached out as nitrate. By capturing this ammonia-N before it gets either volatilized or nitrified, and using that nitrogen to promote algal productivity in ponds, the farmer not only improves the farm environment by reducing noxious odors and nitrate leaching, but recycles an otherwise lost nutrient for increased farm productivity.

Zeolite Filtration Tips

Zeolite possesses the highest Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and has a significantly higher overall contaminant capture. It acts as a vehicle for ammonia absorption and subsequent fertilization to stimulate algal productivity. Zeolite also removes toxic metals such as silver, mercury, nickel, chrome, cobalt, antimony, arsenic and others.

In fish breeding waters the amount of ammonium ion is gradually increasing during fish raising. In one case the concentration of NH4 ion in the water was 6.5 ppm after 13 days of raising.
To make sure ammonia does not build up to dangerous levels add ZeoStore™ zeolite to the water filter (if present) or simply drop it into the water.

When 1 kg of granular zeolite was put in 0.15 m3 of water of living ornamental fishes, the ammonium ion was held under 1ppm in about 60-65 days.The ammonium produced by fish was ion-exchanged by the zeolites.

Zeolite Koi Pond Rocks

Koi Pond Rocks are large decorative zeolite rocks, which absorb ammonia, noxious odors, nitrate leaching, and stimulate algal productivity.

Koi Pond Rocks are perfect for fresh water ponds, aquariums, large ponds or fish farms.

One of the benefits of using Zeolite Rocks is that you can fully recharge them by putting them under direct sunlight for 8-10 hours and reuse them over and over again.
