Amino Acids and Poly-Filter

[GaZZaW]

Hi All,
I was just reading about Poly-Filter material and how it, among other things, removes amino acids.
Would this function negate the use of say Aquavitro Fuel or two little fishes AcroPower?
Could i be putting stuff in with one hand an taking it out with the other?
Any expert views..
Thanks

Gary

I'm not sure? Bump for good question though!

ammonia
removes heavy metals, harmful organics, all forms of phosphate and is without equal in the removal of medications after treatment. Medication such as Copper Sulphate and Formalin, Quinine Sulphate, Malachite Green, chelated copper compounds and even antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. It doesn't remove trace elements.
So in this case yes amino acids can be removed.

Polyfilter, Purigen, and GAC will all remove some of the additives we commonly use, particularly organic molecules like amino acids and vitamins.
As an aside, I've stopped dosing amino acids because it promotes cyano growth in my systems. Otherwise haven't noticed much difference.
