Microporous zeolite media for ammonia control in aquariums
BEA N Adsorb 250 ml is based on a blend of purified and ceramized zeolites , selected for their high adsorption capacity. Thanks to its internal cross-linked matrix, it exposes a large active surface area capable of rapidly binding ammonia (NH3/NH4) , nitrites, certain residual nitrates, and various inorganic contaminants.
It is particularly useful during sensitive periods: introduction of new fish, increased organic load, temporary rise in nitrites, or imbalance of the biological cycle. Once adsorbed, the compounds remain trapped within the structure of the medium, ensuring stable and reliable action.
Recommended processing capacity and gradual dosage
The 250ml size is sufficient to effectively treat an aquarium up to 500 liters , depending on the fish population and organic load. For a moderately stocked 200-liter aquarium, it is recommended to use 100 to 200ml .
- Start with 50% of the recommended dose.
- Increase gradually over a few days.
- Monitor the parameters and the reaction of the inhabitants.
This gradual implementation helps to avoid any too rapid drop in nutrients and ensures a smooth adaptation of the system.
Simple to use in a filter bag or reactor
BEA N Adsorb 250 ml can be placed in the included bag , used as a passive filter, filter bed, or specific reactor. It should be installed in an area with suitable flow to optimize contact with the water. Rinsing with clean water is recommended before first use.
Its 5-6 mm particle size ensures good water circulation while limiting dust release.
Regeneration procedure up to 4 cycles
The media can be regenerated up to 3 or 4 times by following these steps:
- Bath in 3% peroxide for 6 to 12 hours, then rinse thoroughly.
- Bath in diluted citric acid for 6 to 12 hours, then rinse.
- Bath with diluted bicarbonate for 6 to 12 hours, then rinse thoroughly.
Wear appropriate protective gear when handling and never mix solutions together.
Durable stability and lightweight filtration
By effectively limiting ammonia and nitrogen compounds, BEA N Adsorb contributes to:
- Reduce toxic spikes in the tank.
- Reduce the load on biological filtration.
- Maintain more stable parameters.
Store closed in a cool, dry place. Product intended for technical use in ornamental aquariums. Keep out of reach of children.
