Colin are you suggesting that I set up something like a kiddie pool in my house and run a power filter full of the chemicals you mentioned until the water in the pool is free from ammonia. (trying to think of where to put a kiddie pool), I read up on that a bit - primarily it just refers to using to detox your body from heavy metals - a claim I suspect is doubtful but if it makes people feel better than no harm done
That would be a very cool idea but I don't know how my landlord would feel about all that water so close to the floor. Many years ago my father(who owned and leased houses) had a tenant get in a fight with her boyfriend and the guy kicked in the 10 gal aquarium. After that my dad said "no more aquariums" - he also thought about adding "no parrots" after he saw the damage my parrot could do.
I read somewhere where a person asked why not keep one of these chemicals in your aquarium filter all the time? The answer was completely vague - basically saying "that might not be a good idea". But why not? It makes more sense to me - keep out ammonia all the time. Then find a chemical that removes nitrites and you never have to cycle another tank and only clean it when it gets dirty. You know being in the age of invention that we are - why have they not found a easier way to clean fish tank water?
