I recently went to a pet store and noticed little mesh packets in their tanks so I asked the person running the place what they were. He told me that the contents of the packets absorb ammonia. Does anyone use these and how good are they?
anyone know anything about these things?

I tink they are ALGONE packets. They used to advertise quite alot a few years ago. Used em myself in the filter, didn't impress me???Dead-N-Dreaming said:
I've seen them before. I think it's some chemical called phospherus. I don't know if it works or not...I've just seen them around.
phosphorus?
that a one of the main macro nutrients that algae and plants need to grow.
i dont think its that.

Purigen by seachem comes in small mesh bag i decided to try one out and it made the tank look insanely clear.
never treat a problem with banaids a proplery cycled tank will take care of any ammonia if youre having issues with ammonia in a cycled system you either have a waste problem or too much food maybe a dead fish some where or the tanks not cleaned right also not enough filtration

I was just wondering what they are, I didn't get them and most likely won't need them.
Hmm, Maybe it was Green-X-
I put some in the bottom of my 15 gallon's gravel, it kills algea and makes the tank look nice for 2 months heh. I used it to kill off half of my HUGE hair algea problem, everyone knows small tanks are *****es and harder than big ones.
