Aquaculture chemicals zeolites
ZEOMAX natural zeolite product is known to be the best product for healthy pond and for the best for aquatic animals like shrimp and fish
Zeolites are an ideal means of managing ammonia levels in the short-term until full filter active is restored or achieved. Even modest levels of ammonia are a threat to fish health. This is particularly a problem in new ponds and aquaria where we have to let ammonia levels rise a little to encourage the establishment of nitrifying bacteria in the filter. Elevated ammonia can occasionally be a problem in established set-ups.

These are naturally occurring types of minerals, although because of their usefulness as molecular sieves they can now be artificially produced. In their natural form they are aluminosilicates, which are normal silicate minerals containing aluminium. The structure is such that these minerals can loosely bind positive charged ions, usually sodium.

They act as ion-exchangers and 'swap' their sodium ions, for other positively charged ions, for example calcium or ammonium. So they are often used for water softening to remove hardness-forming calcium ions. Fish keepers can make use of this unusual characteristic and employ them to remove ammonia (or more strictly ammonium - NH4+) from the water.
