Use Zeolite in an Aquarium

Aquarium owners are constantly looking for ways to help keep the balance in their tanks. Water that has too much ammonia or too much nitrogen can cause the fish in the tank to become ill. Maintaining tank balance in the aquarium is the easiest way to keep fish healthy. Adding chemicals can be tricky, however. Many aquarium owners enjoy using minerals such as zeolite to keep their tanks in good working order because it does not involve chemicals. Using zeolite is easy to do and it is reusable, too.

Zeolite Defined

Zeolite is a type of mineral that has multiple pores. Aquarium owners can find both natural zeolite as well as man-made versions. Zeolite consists of aluminum, oxygen, and silicon as well as other chemical components depending on the type.

Zeolite in Aquariums

Because zeolite is full of pores and absorbs materials around it so readily, it is usually a part of aquarium filters. Zeolite is especially necessary for aquarium owners who find that there are excessive amounts of ammonia and nitrogen compounds in the tank water. Owners should use aquarium test kits when determining whether to use zeolite in tanks. When used in aquariums where coral makes up a good portion of the tanks, aquarium owners should take care, since zeolite can also absorb calcium, which is a prime component of coral.
