Not after a water change but with a water change. You need to add it to your water before you put water in your tank.

PLecolover - Dechlorinators are to be used during your water change not after. it eliminates toxins in tap water making it safe for fish.

SDS, What is this zeolite of which you speak?
if not here, could you tell me about it via pm?

* Sorry choffman, Seems as though I'm too slow to update (I am at work and often I get distracted and come back to my posts)

Zeolite is a filter media that is similar to activated carbon, but is white, and absorbs nitrogen.
It needs to be changed frequently, and has the potential of making your tank "addicted" to it (if it absorbs all of the ammonia, and you then remove it from the tank, your nitrifying colonies will atrophy and die). I keep the stuff around for emergencies (I recently had a filter give out on me and put a cartridge of zeolite in the aquarium to keep ammonia levels down until I could get a new filter), but I don't use it to remove nitrate from my aquariums.
If used properly, and if a person is willing to pay money every week for something like this, it can be a useful tool, but I prefer more natural methods combined with water changes.

Well, thank you for your time!

Sorry, Plecolover, I misunderstood when you said, "it will work like a water change." I thought you meant that instead of doing a water change, you would add Amquel.

^ Yep, that's how it came across.

Oh and thanks SDS, I might have to go have a look for some for "Emergencies" as you say .
