Using Ammonia-Absorbing Carbon in Terrariums: Impact on Nitrogen Availability for Plants

Bought "ammo-carb" (ammonia absorber) instead of activated carbon for terrarium layer. Worried if it removes nitrogen from plants or acts as nitrogen bank.

Leave It In

Locks up ammoniacal nitrogen, not nitrate. Organic feeds (fish emulsion) unaffected. Miracle-Gro: some ammoniacal N lost, but nitrate N remains. Not a critical issue.
