Zeolite is a natural crystallized mineral of volcanic rock, that acts as an aquarium filter media by using ion exchange to absorb and remove ammonia and heavy metals from freshwater tanks. It is particularly useful for quickly reducing dangerous ammonia spikes from fish waste and uneaten food, but it is not a permanent solution as it becomes saturated and must be replaced.

Zeolite, also known as sodium aluminum silicate, has a complex, porous structure with a large surface area. It binds ammonia and ammonium ions from the water, releasing sodium ions in exchange. This ion exchange process effectively removes toxic ammonia, which is harmful to fish and other aquatic life. It can also absorb other undesirable substances and heavy metals.
The most popular application of zeolites - is the absorption of toxins, heavy metals, molds and bad odors. The honeycomb structure of the zeolite rock allows the hard substance to absorb a large number of molecules of gas, moisture and many chemicals. The natural mineral has also proven its efficacy against heavy metals and other substances such as: radioactive gases, bacterial odors, formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide, mercury, lead, ammonia, chlorine and nitrogen molecules etc. Zeolite can bind the above substances, thereby normalizing the biological composition of the water. Due to Zeolite, the water pH of is stabilizing, phenols and heavy metals are bound. Reduction of ammonia prevents algae excessive growth.
Usage: Zeolite is best used to address sudden increases in ammonia, such as during a new aquarium cycle or when there's a high bioload. Clinoptilolite zeolites are adapted for use in various filters as top filter, external filter, hang-on-back filters and submersible filter pump, or just to spread onto bottom substrate. By actively absorbing ammonia it improves the biological balance in the aquarium. High concentrations of ammonium contamination are considered to be a concentration of 1 milligram per liter. 1 kilogram of natural zeolite is enough to absorb 3-5 grams of ammonium. The optimal dose is the use of 1 kilogram of natural zeolite per 1 cubic meter of water or 1 gram per 1 liter.
Zeolite is not recommended as a regular, long-term filtration media because it becomes saturated and ineffectual once its binding sites are filled.
Oyster shell chips (in fine grind it is shell powder) serves as natural water conditioner, as well as natural filter media. The main effects of Oyster shell chips in saltwater aquarium are: 1) Acting as a buffer to help stabilize pH and Alkalinity, 2) Supplement calcium, carbonate minerals and trace elements, 3) Provide biological filtration surface.
The breeder box is a small container that creates a separate, safe space for vulnerable fish, improving the survival rate of newborn fry. It can also be used to isolate sick, injured, or aggressive fish and is a must-have for aquarists breeding livebearers like guppies or bettas. For convenience and effective fish separation an acrylic breeder box offers a space-saving, observation-friendly option.
Plastic breeding tray - a unique home for wide range of turtles, reptiles, hermit crabs, crayfish, and small amphibious creatures. Terrapin tank with built in platform and ramp for rest or basking. The ramp has a non-slip strip to aid the terrapin climbing.
Portable Covered Plastic Tank it's a lightweight, durable, and transparent enclosure for transporting or temporary keeping baby small animal, reptile, amphibia, hermit crab, shrimp, crawfish, fish, etc. small size creatures, it can also accommodate insects. There is a lid with ventilation holes, to prevent jumping and reduce evaporation. Ideal as a temporary home in case of maintenance and cleaning of usual accommodation. Very useful also when you want to take your pet with you on a trip or relocate to another place.
Dive into the aquatics lifestyle with the Choison fish tank kit! Tabletop fish tank, equipped with ultra-light LED lights and water filtration/circulation system for easy maintenance and clear water. It offers enough space for Betta fish, goldfish, shrimps or cold water fish. The filter system requires only weekly filter changes, ensuring easy maintenance. The bright LED lights enhance your aquatic setup, making it dazzle in any room.
Sintered glass bio-rings are high-porosity filter media that provide an exceptionally large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, leading to highly efficient biological filtration and improved water quality in aquariums and ponds. Made from high-quality minerals, they establish a stable environment for nitrifying bacteria that rapidly process ammonia and nitrites, reduce algae by breaking down organic matter, and remain neutral in pH without altering water parameters.
Bio-sponge pad is a porous, cut-to-fit foam sheet that provides mechanical filtration by trapping debris and biological filtration by cultivating beneficial bacteria to break down waste. These pads are versatile, can be customized for various filter types, and help maintain a healthy and clear aquarium environment by supporting the nitrogen cycle. Its multi-porous feature will avoid blockages and provide the largest adhesion area for beneficial nitro bacteria. These bacteria break down toxic fish waste (ammonia and nitrite) into less harmful compounds, creating a healthy, stable environment for aquatic life and clarifying the water.

Activated carbon aquarium filter media improves water quality by chemically adsorbing dissolved pollutant compounds derived from degeneration of the organic substances. In this way, Activated Carbon clarifies cloudy water, removes odors, and eliminates tannins that cause yellowing. It also removes medications, chlorine, chloramines, and certain phenols but does not address ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate.

Multifunctional Betta fish tank: Double-layer transparent wall to isolate fry, diseased or aggressive fish. For multiple bettas, a divided tank provides a shared, filtered, and heated setup, simplifying maintenance compared to multiple individual tanks. Essential is a solid, opaque divider to prevent stress, ensuring each compartment has adequate filtration and water flow, and selecting a tank large enough for the intended number of fish. Our aquarium is designed for one fish in each compartment.
