*Media bag enclosed
Fish constantly release ammonia into the aquarium's water. Uneaten fish food, waste and urine decompose and release toxic ammonia. Zeolites are used in an aquarium to remove ammonia in fresh water systems. The zeolite stones have microporous structures that can remove certain chemicals and the zeolite stones have surface area large enough for nitrifying bacteria to colonize.
It is not recommended to use zeolite in an uncycled (new) aquarium.
*Salt and zeolite - When salt is added to the aquarium it prevents the zeolite rocks from removing the ammonia from the aquarium's water.
