Product Information
Full details
Oase Zeolith is an ideal solution for aquarists looking to maintain a balanced aquatic ecosystem by naturally removing harmful toxins. This high-quality mineral media is designed for those who want to actively manage ammonia and phosphate levels to inhibit algae growth and achieve crystal-clear water. While it offers excellent biological support, users should keep in mind that it requires regular replacement every 8-12 weeks to maintain its peak absorption efficiency.

FAQs
How much Oase Zeolith do I need for my tank?
The recommended dosage is 1 liter of Zeolith per 1000 liters of aquarium water.
Can I reuse the Zeolith after it has been in the filter for 12 weeks?
No, Oase Zeolith should be replaced every 8-12 weeks as its ability to absorb ammonium and phosphates is finite.
Does this product affect water pH?
Oase Zeolith is designed for safe use, but it is always recommended to monitor your water parameters periodically when adding any new filtration media.
Is this suitable for saltwater aquariums?
Zeolith is typically used in freshwater environments; for saltwater-specific applications, verify that your filter system is compatible with this media type.
Does it replace my bio-rings or other biological media?
No, Oase Zeolith is intended to complement your existing biological media by providing additional chemical filtration.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudy after installation.
The cloudiness is likely mineral dust. Ensure the Zeolith is rinsed thoroughly before placing it into the filter media basket.
Algae growth is increasing despite using Zeolith.
Check if the media is older than 12 weeks. If so, it is fully saturated and requires replacement to resume nutrient absorption.
Reduced water flow through the filter.
Ensure the media bag is not packed too tightly and that it is placed in an area of the filter that allows water to pass through freely without causing a blockage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces the risk of algae outbreaks by limiting available nutrients.
- Promotes a stable and healthy biological environment for sensitive livestock.
- Easy to incorporate into existing filtration setups.
- Made from high-quality, effective natural minerals.
Cons
- Requires scheduled replacement every 8-12 weeks for continued performance.
- Must be rinsed thoroughly before initial use to prevent cloudiness.
- Requires monitoring to ensure water flow remains consistent through the media bag.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare Oase Zeolith, rinse the granules under clean, dechlorinated water to remove any loose mineral dust caused during shipping. Once rinsed, place the material in a media bag that allows for good water penetration. For best results, place the media in the secondary stage of your filter after mechanical filtration (sponges or floss) but before biological rings or porous ceramic media. Ensure the flow of water is not obstructed by other dense materials. Every 8-12 weeks, remove the used media and replace it with fresh Zeolith to prevent the saturation of the mineral and the potential release of trapped pollutants.
