The role played by zeolites in fish farming

How many kinds of zeolites are there? Guys, if you carefully go to collect information, you will go crazy, some wikis say more than 0 species, some say more than 50 species, some say more than 80 species. However, there are only three common types in the aquarium market, and generally speaking, these zeolites are white, green & pink blocks. But with so many varieties, which one is the best to use to choose? 

Fish enthusiasts have concluded through long-term practical experience that white is the most suitable for fish keeping. Because the high purity of zeolite is usually white or transparent, while other colors of zeolite are mixed with different impurities. And there are not only naturally formed zeolites, there are also synthetic zeolites, should choose natural zeolites to use. As for why to say zeolite is a fish and grass partners of the magic, the following I will analyze for you.

First, the use of zeolite strong adsorption, it will be placed in the fish tank as a high-quality aluminum, it can be the ammonia and nitrogen, heavy metals, and other harmful components can be adsorbed, can play a very good role in purifying water quality, and can make effective prevention of ammonia poisoning in the fish tank.

Second, zeolite may effectively balance the pH of the water body, so that the water quality to achieve a stable state, basically is neutral water. For newbies, this is a very favorable condition, the pH level tends to 7, and the zeolite itself will not cause any harm to the fish, shrimps, plants, etc. in the tank, but will only have more benefits.

Third, zeolite will also release a lot of active ions, which can effectively improve the barren state of the bottom sand or ceramic particles, and can have a better fertilizer utilization rate for aquatic plants and nitrifying bacteria in your tank, so in practice, zeolite can be used in the bottom bed.

Fourth, zeolite has strong reversibility, can effectively prevent the occurrence of fish disease and aquatic plant disease, improve the survival rate of fish, shrimp and aquatic plants, through the release of natural substances, so that fish, shrimp, snails, nitrifying bacteria can be faster and better growth.

Fifth, if the water is hard, for fish and grass is not a good thing, and zeolite relies on its own characteristics, can effectively soften the water, is conducive to the survival of fish and aquatic plants.

Sixth, zeolite's natural mineral effect, for fish intestinal diseases have a very good role in the prevention and control, and can also have a good role in promoting the activity of fish, so that they are more adaptable to the new environment, enhance resistance, while effectively resist and prevent some common surface diseases, such as water mold disease.

Seventh, because zeolite itself is an ore, so it contains trace elements that are easily soluble in water and can be effectively released, so that fish, shrimp and aquatic plants can easily absorb and use these active trace elements to promote the metabolism of fish, shrimp and the ability of aquatic plants to absorb nutrients, regulating the physical state of animals and plants, making them stronger, more resistant and with a higher survival rate.

In short, as a fish and grass "magic", zeolite has a great role, you guys actually do not need to be equipped with good equipment, with quality drugs, just need to choose the right tool, you can raise good fish and grass Oh!
