In vitro comparison of zeolite (clinoptilolite) and activated carbon as ammonia absorbents in fish farming – In vitro Comparison of Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) and Activated Carbon as Ammonia Absorbants in Fish Culture H. Emadi, J.E. Nezhad and H. Pourbagher Abstract Conditioned activated carbon was compared with zeolite (clinoptilolite) at different salinities, total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) levels and time intervals. The dosages of both materials were the same, i.e. 10 ppt. Different salinities ranging from 0 to 30 ppt were prepared in 24 three-litre plastic buckets. Concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 ppm TAN were added to the buckets. The trend in ... Read more

The Application of Natural Zeolites in Animal Science and Aquaculture F. A. Mumpton and P. H. Fishman 1,2 Summary As agriculturalists step up their efforts to expand crop and animal production, numerous mineral materials are receiving greater attention as soil amendments and as dietary supplements in animal husbandry. The zeolite group of minerals stands out from the rest, and its exciting array of physical and chemical properties promises to contribute to many areas of agriculture and aquaculture over the next decade. Their abundance and availability have aroused considerable interest in research stations across several countries, although the number of publications ... Read more

zeolite in fish farming and aquariums | Zeolife.gr One of the most valuable natural products, with numerous beneficial properties for both humans and the environment, is the mineral zeolite. The crystalline structure of natural zeolite gives it a number of beneficial properties, which are mainly related to agriculture, livestock farming, as well as fish farming and mussel farming. However, zeolite can even be used in aquariums or swimming pool filters. During fish rearing in fish farms, as well as in tanks used to transport live fish, it is natural for ammonia to build up, which can quickly contaminate an aquatic environment. ...

Zeolite in an aquarium and its filters in Nea Orestiada. We note that after 45 days of use, the water remains clear. After this use, the zeolite can be reused in compost or in the garden, as it has absorbed the nitrates from the fish waste, inactivated them and will return them to the soil as organic fertiliser. Application particle size: 2.5 to 5 millimetres on the floor and 0.8–2.5 millimetres in the filters
