Bio Chem Zorb removes dissolved organic pollutants from turtle aquariums. This premium water filtration media is comprised of research-grade organic scavenger resins, pharmaceutical-grade ion-exchange resins, and high-porosity activated carbon in a flow-through media pouch.
Phos-Zorb effectively removes phosphate and silicate from reptile aquariums. Specialized, synthetic adsorption filtration media selectively removes phosphate as well as silicate and will not release them back into the water for long-lasting control.
nexx Pre-filter Foam provides additional mechanical filtration. 30 ppi (pores per inch) pre-filter foam traps fine particles from turtle aquarium water.

Bio Chem Zorb
Purpose and Benefits: Bio Chem Zorb is a water filtration media comprised of research-grade organic scavenger resins, pharmaceutical-grade ion-exchange resins, and high-porosity activated carbon in a flow-through media pouch. Removes dissolved organic pollutants from turtle terrariums and can be used in any filter.
Turtles, plants, algae, and uneaten food release a variety of organic pollutants into the terrarium. When these pollutants accumulate, a stressful environment is created for all inhabitants. Poor water quality leads to lower disease resistance, inhibited growth, reduced oxygen level, discolored aquarium water, and foul odors. Continuous filtration with Bio Chem Zorb will restore water quality and create crystal clear water.
Bio Chem Zorb works by ion exchange and adsorption. The organic scavenger resins and activated carbon adsorb dissolved organics. The ion-exchange resins remove toxic heavy metals such as copper and lead. Use Bio Chem Zorb to keep the water healthy and sparkling clear.
Directions for Use
Rinse cartridge under cool tap water to remove loose dust.
Cartridge does not need to rinse clear.
Nitra-Zorb
Nitra-Zorb is a blend of natural and synthetic ion-exchange resins that selectively remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Nitra-Zorb is completely phosphate-free and can be reused after recharging.
Directions for Use
Rinse cartridge under cool tap water to remove loose dust.
Cartridge does not need to rinse clear.
Phos-Zorb
Phos-Zorb is a specialized, synthetic adsorption filtration media that selectively removes phosphate as well as silicate found in tap water. Phos-Zorb effectively removes phosphate and silicate and will not release them back into the water for long-lasting phosphate control.
Directions for Use
Rinse cartridge under cool tap water for several minutes to remove dust and activate the Phos-Zorb. The activation process will temporarily generate some heat.
Cartridge does not need to rinse clear.
nexx Pre-filter Foam
nexx Pre-filter Foam provides additional mechanical filtration. 30 ppi (pores per inch) pre-filter foam traps fine particles from water.
Directions for Use
Place a nexx Pre-filter Foam into the bottom of the filtration compartment.
Every month, wash the foam pad thoroughly in a basin of water taken from your aquarium. Replace the foam when needed.
