Natural Zeolite Clinoptilolite for Use by Fisheries, Fish Farms, Trucks, Aquariums

Fisheries, Fish Farms, Trucks, Aquariums
Recommended product:   Grade C

Safetysorb™ Zeolite may be used for the removal of ammonium in fisheries, fish farms, trucks to transport fish, and aquariums.  Additionally, where fish are processed for animal feed, in the USA 2% of Safetysorb™ Zeolite by weight (up to 20% in some other countries) may be added to the feed to eliminate offensive odors.

You may use larger size which can be removed from the water, washed clean of the collected algae, and returned to the water to continue removing algae.  Removal of algae reduces fish morbidity through providing cleaner and safer water which enhances fish health.

Safetysorb™ Zeolite Aquarium Freshener provides a unique and simple way of removing algae buildup in your fresh water aquariums as well as cattle stock tanks, ponds or other water holding facilities.  Our Zeolite does this by absorbing the Ammonia in the water that the algae feed on; collecting the algae that is then attracted to the unique Zeolite pellets or rocks; and providing an easy method for removing the algae from your aquarium.  We also provide you with a simple way of cleansing your Zeolite that enables you to return it to your aquarium refreshed, to begin the algae prevention actions all over again.

Ammonia, the un-ionized form of ammonia (ammonia gas) is produced from the gills and urine from the fish as well as from the bacterial decomposition of the unused food and fecal material. Fish utilize the nitrogen component of digested proteins, the amino group (NH2) to build new proteins. However, when they utilize the proteins for energy, they cannot metabolize the nitrogen, and the amino group is split off as ammonia gas. Ammonia gas solubilizes readily in water to form ammonium ion. Ammonia is toxic and reduces the ability of the hemoglobin in the blood to hold oxygen. Additionally, ammonia damages the gill structure, further impairing the fish in getting oxygen. Additionally, Zeolite is especially adapted as a direct replacement for sand, sand and anthracite, and multi-media water filtration media as it filters out particles as small as 3 microns, whereby sand typically filters particles of 20 microns or larger.  Our Zeolites’ unique crystalline structure will double the capacity to load particulate matter which will reduce the number of backwashes required to keep the water clean and also acts as a biological filter in which bacteria mineralize the organic nitrogen compounds, a process known as Nitrification. It involves the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrates by autotrophic bacteria. The huge surface area of Zeolite makes it an excellent host for aerobic bacteria that eat the ammonia. Zeolite, either rocks or granular form, should be applied at approximately one ounce per gallon of water for most aquariums.  The will continue to remove algae for weeks on end, depending on the amount of ammonia being excreted in the water over time. Once it becomes apparent that the algae are reforming in the aquarium or water tank, you simply remove the rocks or bedding material and cleanse them thoroughly to remove the accumulated algae and return them to the aquarium. They will immediately begin again to remove the ammonia and freshen and clarify the water in your aquarium as before.

Can you enhance the cleanliness of your fish tank?

Zeolite is available in the form of decorative rocks or pebble size bedding and are packaged in various configurations as follows: For larger aquariums or animal watering troughs, we recommend five pounds of Zeolite for each 75 gallon capacity. For aquariums of smaller size, we recommend smaller Rocks of perhaps 1 to 3 inches in thickness, or no more than six to eight ounces per 10 gallon capacity is usually sufficient to achieve the desired results. However, the Rocks required will vary depending on the amount of ammonia being excreted in the aquarium by the fish.
