Amazing Mineral That Absorbs Ammonia.

In this video I am going to show you a mineral that can be added to your pond or filter. It can help maintain good water quality and can be recharged many times.

It is useful in a variety of situations. Such as when you are establishing a new pond, where the filter hasn't had a chance to develop a healthy biomass. Or when adding new fish to an existing pond.

Straight to the point.
A. Grab zeolite
-bag it up in mesh/netting bag
-wash off excess dust
- ready to use in pond/aquarium for several weeks
B. Recharge zeolite
-grab bucket
-fill with water
-add salt and dissolve in water
-add used zeolite. Ammonia will leach into salt.
-when finished give a good rinse and back into the pond.
Done.

I think I might add a bag to my pond . Thanks Lee 👍

[olanrewajupastor]

for how long do i need to keep it in the pond?

[jamesharris]

I have a new pond and added this. My hanna ammonia tester showed 0.41 ammonia. I added the bag of zeolite and a week later my ammonia was 0.49 so from what I can see, it has had no effect. Wasn’t expecting a zero reading after a week but I have seen nothing so far.

Thank you so much God bless more more ideas and information more power

Thank you dear for this nice to the point dimo, di I need to put inside power head filter or just hang it in the aquarium?

Awesome drum filter configuration. Im wondering if you go from a 1.5 inch PVC inlet to 2 inch PVC outlet because it creates more suction or if 1.5 all the way works the same.

Hi, many questions today :-) Your videos are really well-explained. I was wondering if there is another use for the brine. If you use 25 kilos of salt, that water will be incredibly salty and while it can be good against weeds, I am afraid it will have too much effect on the rest of the plants. Do you know an alternative use for it? Also: can I use the brine multiple times? Like, I clean the zeolite once, keep the brine, and clean the zeolite again in that same brine, or do I always have to use new salt and water?

My understanding is that Zeolite is not to be used constantly. I read it was only to fix spikes or to level things out so you can find the issue creating the ammonia. You can't just keep using this product and keep ignoring the actual problem. It's a band-aid not a cure. Also, on a side note the zeolite can be baked to recharge it too. I think it was 350 degrees for 30 mins and no risk of salt being added to the tank. I was looking for something with a higher negative charge than clay when I stumbled across zeolite. Turns out it's the same stuff sold in pet stores as ammonia remover for hang on back and canister filters. Of course, they don't tell you it can be recharged because they want you to keep buying their products.

Will this also help get rid of a brown tint to the water? The bottom is brown but top is clear, I have active carbon for tannins already

Hi ..great video. Where can i buy some?

[shalomweston]

Great video info. Question- After soaking in the salty water, would it need to be rinsed in fresh water so not to harm invertebrates like snails which are sensitive to salt?

[donaldclinton]

How can i get this amazing product am having serious problem with ammonia in my fish farm

[realsteel]

Can we use this RAS system? If so, in which filter?

[Dwinswimhim]

What about ceramic rings? The white one's? Btw i love ur vids

[winterrhino]

Is it really safe to return the zeolite bag back into the filtration despite having some salt on it? Did not see the zeolites being rinsed after the washing it on salt. I want to do the same but I am worried if it will kill my fish.

[SighsInternally]

damn, so this doesnt work in saltwater tanks?

[PCLye]

is zeolite safe for fish that are to be consumed by human?

[eddielittle]

You should’ve have said that from the beginning! Don’t use zeolite if pond is salted 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[bigdjwhitehead]

I usually use the nt labs one, however they say you need to add half new zeolite every time you recharge. Is this just them trying to sell more? I'm having some issues with ammonia at the moment, reading is 0.41 I've recharged it but it doesn't seem to be going down at the moment. Maybe i didn't use enough salt.
