Ammo-chips are good for when you have an ammonia problem, but I don't think
they should be part of a filter system. They will fill with ammonia and not
be of any further use until recharged. The recharge procedure is to soak
them in salt water. If for any reason, you need to add salt to the pond to
treat a sick fish, then the ammo-chips can be deadly.

Would a layer of ammo-chips or carbon between the filter pads do any
good?

Any suggestions appreciated.
