Zeolite (fine 4-8 mm, coarse 8-16 mm and powder) is best clinoptilolite. It binds ammonia/ammonium, various heavy metals, phosphorus (phosphate) and nitrogen compounds. Silbermann Zeolite quickly creates crystal clear aquarium water.
Our zeolite powder consists of 100% high purity zeolite.
The powder is free of additives, carriers, extenders or additives.
The zeolite complies with the animal feed regulation.
Contains no heavy metal, dioxin, furan, PCBs.
1000 ml (about 770g) is sufficient for about 50,000 liters of aquarium water.
Wikipedia about zeolite:
Zeolites consist of a microporous framework structure of AlO4 and SiO4 tetrahedra. The aluminum and silicon atoms are interconnected by oxygen atoms. Depending on the type of structure, this results in a structure of uniform pores and/or channels in which substances can be adsorbed. In nature, water is usually adsorbed there, which can be removed from the pores by heating without changing the zeolite structure. Zeolites can thus be used as sieves, as it were, since only molecules with a smaller kinetic diameter than the pore openings of the zeolite structure adsorb in the pores. Zeolites therefore also fall into the group of molecular sieves. Zeolites exhibit a regular arrangement of cavities and channels.
Definition by Brech:
"Zeolites are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates, synthesized or naturally occurring, with framework structure, containing alkali - or alkaline earth metal cations."
Dosage:
1000 ml sufficient for 500 - 1000 l of aquarium water.
For fine and coarse, replace 10% every 2 weeks.
