Anti-ammonia Rock

[akudewan]

I got some anti-ammonia rock, for my hospital tank. I thought it would keep the ammonia levels under control, as the tank is unfiltered.

Now that my cory is all better, I have moved it into the 6 gallon tank. But i have a few questions about this ammonia-rock:

1) If I wash it and keep it to dry in the sun, can I re-use it?
2) Does medicine also get absorbed into the rock, along with the ammonia?

Thanks in advance

What is an anti-amonia rock? I never heard of it.

Tis zeolite, if I recall.

The problem with anything that removes ammonia is that your tank will uncycle as there will be nothing for the bacteria to feed on. I'm sure it will also reach a saturation point at some point at which time, suddenly the ammonia will begin to build again.
