The zeolite filter has two modes of action:

It binds ammonium/ammonia and organic substances on the surface of the filter material (zeolite). These are absorbed by bacteria, creating a bacterial lawn. To prevent the filter from becoming overgrown over time, the filter bed must be rinsed regularly. To do this, the filter bed is shaken up daily with the supply of air so that excess bacteria and mulm are flushed away.
In aquariums with nutrient deficiencies, the excess bacteria should be introduced into the aquarium as bacterioplankton.
For eutrophic (polluted) aquariums, the drain of the zeolite filter should end before the skimmer so that it skims the bacteria, thereby removing nutrients from the system. It is also possible to discharge into a fleece filter.
As an ion exchanger, the natural mineral zeolite binds heavy metals such as lead, zinc and others.

It is important to replace 2/3 of the filter material approximately every two months.

Features of the zeolite filter:

suitable for a wide range of materials
effective retention of filter material by inlet and outlet sieve
zeolite filling with very high clinoptilolite content
and of course , manufactured from German quality acrylic material

Installation of the zeolite filter:

in the filter sump
external (next to, below or above the aquarium)
hang-on (outside the aquarium)
hang-in (inside the filter sump)
wall mounting

Required accessories:

water supply with sufficient pressure (bypass from the aquarium main pump or own pump)
timer controlled air supply for the rinsing process
alternatively, a large controllable water pump with timer can also be integrated

The inlet water from the aquarium is pumped into the filter by means of the bypass of the main pump or an additional feed pump. The water flows through the filter from the bottom to the top. The pollutants can bind to the zeolite material and bacteria settle on the surface.

To prevent the filter from becoming clogged and reducing performance, the system should be flushed with air every day. An air pump connected to a timer pumps air into the filter for a few minutes, creating strong turbulence. This mechanical movement loosens excess bacteria, which is removed by the filter's drain.

For high nutrient aquariums: direct the drain from the filter to the suction side of the skimmer.

For low nutrient aquariums: direct the filter effluent directly to the suction side of the recirculation pump. Supplemental feeding with coral and/or bacteria supplements may be useful.
