As far as I'm aware, it's designed to be used in a filter, so that the water passes through it. I don't think that it would work as efficiently just dropped into the tank.I hope this has helped. **Q: Can this be used in a U3 fluval internal filter or should i buy an external filter?** A: I have the fluval u4 filters and there is no room as these are large bags so I place it at the bottom of my aquarium and it works perfectly well **Q: Does the fluval ammonia remover have zeolite in it** A: No not at all **Q: Why is this not suitible for salt water?** A: Because of how this works, salt causes the product to release the ammonia it absorbed (recharging it). So it won't absorb any in a marine tank. In fresh water it will work and when ammonia levels spike this can be pulled out, soaked in 5% salt solution, washed (in aquarium water) and dried. Then popped back in......if you're having to use this though...... Address the ammonia causing issue front end..... Too much food, over stocked, poor filtration.......etc. Good product but a reactive not a proactive one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 December 2025* A good filter media , I have mixed it with other biological media in my filters ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fluval Ammonia Remover: A Reliable Solution for Healthy Aquariums *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 November 2024* It does exactly what it claims to do: effectively removes harmful ammonia from the water, maintaining a healthy and balanced environment for my fish.The installation process was straightforward, and it fits perfectly into my external filter.
