Aqua One Self Cut Ammonia Filter Pad
by Aqua One
Learn moreDescription:
Aqua One Ammonia Filter Pad is a tightly woven filter pad which helps to neutralise toxic ammonia from your aquarium water.
Ammonia can be extremely toxic, and high levels place fish under extreme stress. The biological cycle of your aquarium where excess food, faecal matter, urea and fish respiration results in the natural generation of Ammonia (NH3). Ammonia becomes lethal to aquatic animals in high concentrations, and decreases the aquarium water of oxygen.
Keeping ammonia under control is very important. With the aid of the Ammonia Pad, it will help to maintain optimum water quality. AquaOne Ammonia Pad does not substitute for good aquarium-keeping practices, and should be used as a preventative or short term treatment: not a cure for prolonged Ammonia concentrations in your Aquarium. It is essential you replace the Ammonia Pad after 4-6 weeks. When high Ammonia concentrations are present, the Zeo Pad should be replaced every few days. The microscopic pores in the pad can fill up and release all the waste previously collected, back into your aquarium.
Aqua One Filter Pads work alongside your current filtration set up to help remove unwanted particles and debris before it recirculates throughout your aquarium. Aqua One Filter pads are able to be cut and shaped to suit any filtration system and assist in maintaining ideal water conditions.
