This is an easy way to help your filtration system to control ammonia. I use 2 knee high nylons and but half the required amount of Ammo Chips in them for my 60 gallon freshwater aquarium. I place the small "sacks" of chips in the power filter filter and let the water run through them as it passes through the filter. They stay there 5 days and them I recharge them with 1/2 gal water and the appropriate amount of aquarium salt per the instructions on the carton. They can be recharged 5 times before discarding.
I also run a canister filter with extra charcoal.

I sprinkle a half cup or so of these chips in the cat litter periodically, when things start to smell "not so fresh". The same thing that makes them effective at removing ammonia from water makes them effective at removing it from the litter and air. They are quite a bit bigger than litter, so when you sift some get caught in the scoop, but oh well.

Had a extended power outage (4 days) after hurricane Isaac. Saved a clownfish in a small 5 gallon tank with battery aeration. My 100 gallon reef tank stunk after and had to wash rocks and sand with fresh water. Filled with saltwater and put the clown back in and ammonia crept up to a slight but unacceptable level. The chips worked fine. Within a day my ammonia and nitrite levels dropped to zero. Added some nitrifying bacteria and tank was ready for fish and corals in a week.

Worked great for controlling a nasty ammonia spike I got while treating white mouth when I couldn't do twice daily water changes. Also worked great in our hospital tank where we couldn't run a filter.

I bought this for my 3 tanks. I measured out how much was needed for the size of the tank. I put it loosely in a knee high pantyhose and tied a knot. I put it in all the tanks, and when I took a reading of the water the ammonia levels did not change. You also have to regenerate the chips every 5 days in salt which is an extra step I don't know if it helps.

There are a lot of ammonia (nitrite) control products available for aquariums, many of which I have tried, but I find ammo chips to be the best value for my needs. Using your filter, or a filter bag, you decide how much, how often, and where, in a simple to use medium that is easy to control and very affordable.

Pros:
1) Inexpensive and very effective
2) Continuous absorbtion of nitrites, vice single treatment
3) Flexible solution, you decide how to use it
4) Treat your aquarium for months, or years, vice weeks
5) Natural absorbtion, vice adding chemicals to your tank!!

Cons:
1) More work, however minor, when compared to single treatments
2) You need to reseal and store appropriately

Summary: I definitely recommend this product/approach to controlling nitrites in your aquarium. When coupled with a nitrite indicator of your choice, this product is flexible and highly effective. I change the chips when I change the aquarium filters, using a conservative measure of chips/gallons.

My ammonia levels were a little too high in my tank. This product worked quickly to alieviate that problem, and restore safe levels in my tank.

Like the title reads: They are a good quality brand. However, they're are some down falls. I found a little too much power in the bottom of the carton. Also, I would love to have pellets! They make carbon pellets.. So why not Ammo Pellets!?!!?
