Is there any reason to believe that the claims for Amquel are a lie? It is claimed to remove ammonia (but not to isolate it so much that the plants and bacteria can't get it), and many people use it specifically to keep ammonia under control in tanks that have a temporary shortage of biological filtration. -- Dan Drake http://www.dandrake.com |

There are plenty of other dechlorinators that also deal with the ammonia. A few others: Seachem Prime, Tetra "AquaSafe NH/CL Formula", Jungle's "ACE", and Kordon's "AmQuel". And I'd bet there are more. Chuck Gadd http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua |
