Keep testing ammonia while the cubes are in place; they buy time, they don't replace a working nitrogen cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace the cubes roughly every 30 to 60 days - sooner if ammonia is climbing quickly, later in a lightly stocked, well-cycled tank. Once the resin is exhausted it stops adsorbing and needs replacing rather than rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for freshwater and marine aquariums, ponds, and quarantine or hospital tanks. Not a substitute for biological filtration long-term - if ammonia keeps returning, check stocking levels, feeding and filter maintenance rather than relying on the cubes indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ammonia test kit to know when levels are climbing, and Bioscape's Ammonia Extraction Pad where a cut-to-fit sheet suits your filter better than loose cubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered by your rights as a consumer under Australian Consumer Law, in addition to any manufacturer terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow many cubes do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on your filter's media capacity and how high ammonia is running - start with a handful in a mechanical media compartment and add more if levels don't come down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I rinse and reuse the cubes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Once the resin has adsorbed as much ammonia as it can, it's exhausted and needs replacing rather than rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this replace my biological filter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo - it's a short-term chemical measure for ammonia spikes, not a substitute for an established biofilter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe to run with medication or carbon at the same time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBioscape doesn't publish interaction data for this product, so if you're dosing medication at the same time, check with us or run them at different times to be safe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293057073443,"sku":"BIS351","price":18.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/bioscape-ammonia-extraction-43179149361443.webp?v=1790233450","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-ammonia-extraction-cubes-85","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
