{"product_id":"fluval-ammonia-remover-filter-media-3-pack","title":"Fluval Ammonia Remover Filter Media, 3-Pack, 180-gram bags, for freshwater aquariums","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach nylon bag in this Fluval Ammonia Remover pack weighs 180 grams, and three bags come in the pack. The media is a natural ion-exchange material. As water flows over it, ammonia leaves the water. Fluval lists the media for freshwater aquariums only. It is an addition to your usual filter media, and the maker suggests a monthly swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere this ammonia remover fits and where it does not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe media is made for freshwater aquariums. Brackish and saltwater tanks are not a match: in those conditions the ionic function reverses and the ammonia already captured is released back into the water, so keep this product to freshwater setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker gives two situations for it: starting a new aquarium, and a tank carrying more fish than average. In chloramine-treated water it also takes up the excess ammonia that appears once the chloramine bond breaks and free ammonia is released. There is no visual sign to watch for: granules that still work look the same as spent ones. Activity depends on how much ammonia the media has met. Leaving a bag past a month falls outside the maker's direction, so plan the change on the calendar rather than on appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFluval\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-Pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBag weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBag material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003enylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe pack contains three nylon bags of 180 grams each\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree filter media bags, each filled with 180 grams of media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach bag is made of nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the media does in a freshwater filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe media is a natural ion-exchange material, and ammonia is drawn out of the water as it flows across the granules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluval names it for freshwater aquariums, where it is added to the filter media you already run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne bag weighs 180 grams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe maker points to new tank setups and to tanks with a higher than average fish stock as the times to use it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe granules keep their appearance as the media is used up, so the change is timed by the month rather than by looks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long can a bag stay in the filter?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluval advises a fresh bag for best results, and one bag is meant to serve for a month at most.
