Superfish Zeolite filter media excels at absorbing harmful ammonia from the water to prevent algae...Superfish Zeolite filter media excels at absorbing harmful ammonia from the water to prevent algae growth and poisoning. Zeolite is much more effective at removing ammonia than nitrifying bacteria and will keep ammonia levels in check while the biological filter is being established. Superfish Zeolite also provides excellent surface area for nitrifying bacteria to establish themselves. Zeolite is a popular addition to classic filter medias. It works great in ponds and aquariums. This can be used loose or within a filter media bag and is perfect for use within a filter or directly within a pond or tank. Superfish Zeolite Pond Filter Media 10L absorbs harmful substances and ammonia from the water to prevent algae growth and poisoning.
