ammonia is consumed by the bacteria in your filtration system and by your plants.. I dont advise ammonia removing
media of any kind.. besides.. its not as pretty as the plants, rocks and fish! :P
I hope you have testkits to make sure your tank is cycled before removing it.. It could have effected your cycle..

lol true, thats why it's in there, it was in thier old tank and since the new one has cycled i had to add it, i'll remove it next time it cycles.

I was looking for someone to take my place.

The re-size looks much better. I would suggest removing the ammo ball as well. It can have an adverse affect on your cycle as the bacteria needs it to strive.
