anyone try the fluval AC ammonia remover?

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

it replaces the activated carbon and supposedly sucks out ammonia directly w/o it having to be converted to nitrate. I got one for my Aquaclear 70 in my 70 ga anyone find it better or worse then the regular carbon? should I other using it haha am planning on replacing it when this carbon is dead

What do you do when it exhausts and your ammonia spikes because you starved off all the beneficial bacteria in your filter?

it keeps it in the filter, it doesn't destroy it completely just makes it not free floating

Which prevents your filter from establishing a good benefical bacteria colony. It's never a good idea to run it unless of an emergency. I run no chemical media in my tanks (with the exception of purigen in one), and I've never had a need to. It just leads to problems in the long run.

ok so save this in case of an ammonia spike in a populated tank then?
