My Tank Thread
Ol I will do some water changes then :-/
How can bind it in calcium carbonate?
For the zeolit it seems to have another effect than just bacteria. I try many ways to reduce nutrients but I can't just get the same colors without even with same nutrients levels. And now for example I have the zeo and my nutrients are unfortunately not low despite the zeolit, but I get better and better colors. Also algua disappears. Why I don't but it seems to do something special. I used it in the past and now again because, without this stones, I can't get those results,it seems to have an effect not linked to the nutrients
Barium gets into calcium carbonate in place of some of the calcium.
I don’t believe the zeolite has any utility aside from a home for bacteria. Maybe other homes that you used were not as amenable to shaking off the bacteria that are food for corals.
