Aquaforest 5000ml Zeo Mix

Aquaforest Zeo Mix is a selected blend of zeolites for marine aquarium filtration. This 5000ml (5L) pack provides a bulk supply for ongoing media replacement in demanding marine systems.

Important: Aquaforest recommends Zeo Mix for experienced reef aquarists only because of its very high adsorption capacity.

What does Zeo Mix do?

Aquaforest describes Zeo Mix as adsorbing ammonia and ammonium ions in the initial phase, helping limit the subsequent increase in nitrate concentrations. This is not a claim that the media directly removes existing nitrate. The manufacturer also states that it binds phenols and heavy metals and does not lower potassium levels.

It is particularly recommended by Aquaforest for heavily stocked aquariums and ULNS (ultra-low nutrient systems). Its strong adsorption makes correct dosing and experienced management important.

Dose and pack size

Aquaforest's current product-page dose is 100ml of media per 100L of aquarium water. For example, a 400L aquarium uses 400ml at this rate.

The 5L pack contains fifty 100ml portions. This is a media-volume calculation, not a guaranteed pollutant-removal capacity or service life; the manufacturer's replacement interval still applies.

How to use

• Rinse the media in RO/DI water before use.
• Place it in a media reactor, filter mesh bag or filter sock.
• Zeolites do not require shaking and may be used in a fluidised filter.
• Aquaforest recommends a flow of 300–500L/hour through the media bed.
• Replace the media every six weeks.

Follow the supplied pack instructions. Aquaforest's product page specifies 100ml per 100L; a summary table in its published product guide lists a broader 100–500ml range. The directions above follow the dedicated product page rather than the higher summary-table figures.
