API Hobbyist Grade Carbon & Ammonia Filter Media

Activated Filter Carbon
Lightweight and long-lasting activated carbon effectively removes organic waste and contaminants. Adsorbs organic waste, odors, colors, medications, and toxins to create clearer, cleaner, and healthier water. Great for both fresh and saltwater aquariums as well as ornamental ponds. Use bulk chemical filter media with a filter media bag.

Ammo-Chips
Remove deadly ammonia with the natural ammonia-removing mineral, zeolite. Easy-to-use chemical filter media continuously removes ammonia in new or established aquatic system. Ammo-Chips are fully rechargeable in saltwater solution, allowing multiple use for a cost-effective solution for ammonia control. For use with freshwater aquariums and ponds. Use bulk chemical filter media with a filter media bag.

• Rinse under tap water and re-use.

General Information
Ammonia is continually produced from fish waste, uneaten food and organic debris. High ammonia level is a common water quality problem in new or unbalanced aquatic systems. Ammonia is toxic to fish and can cause gill damage, loss of appetite, and eventual death. Ammonia also creates stress and lowers resistance to infections. Ammo-Chips can be used in any freshwater aquarium to remove deadly ammonia and enhance the filtration system. Test water weekly with ammonia test kit and use Ammo-Chips when ammonia levels are detected. Ammo-Chips can also be used in ornamental ponds.
