aquariumlover10 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 its the exo terra moss ball, it says it absorbs nitrites, nitrates, ammonia, and odor, I just need it for the odor, my parameters are all fine but my tank smells, idk why it smells.

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 The reviews are mixed at amazon. The description says it contains an absorbing resin, and needs replaced every 2 months. Sounds similar to zeolite or purigen to me, but not able to be recharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 does purigen or zeolite absorb odor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Zeolite does. I *think* Purigen does too since it absorbs impurities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 ok, I'll get some zeolite tomorrow. also any tips on doing water changes with a fractured knee cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Use an aqualifter pump. Won't lift very high, but great for putting a container of water next to your tank, and starting it to let water slowly flow via airline. http://www.marinedepot.com/Tom_Aquatics_Aqua_Lifter_Dosing_Pump_Accessories_for_Aquarium_Overflow_Boxes-Tom_Aquatics-OE1137-FIOFOA-vi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
