Is there an air purifier that removes ammonia? I am also wondering about the skimmer intake sucking ammonia into the aquarium. I was thinking about routing the intake line to pull in outside air but am wondering if that would have an impact on the temperature of the tank. Although that might actually mean my chiller won't have to run as often.

I don't know of purifiers other than the cartridges for a respirator but I think carbon should work, I you draw your skimmer air through some carbon in a simple reactor per say.

I don't know if the skimmer would bring in enough ammonia to make it worth worrying about but it would be interesting to see if I could filter it if I would see a difference. Nitrates are somwhere between 0 and 5 so not too high but I only have two small fish. Maybe I'll see if I can find a way to keep ammonia out of the water change and top off water first.
Would GAC work dry? I read about a using a diy box with media that pulled air through media to remove CO2 for the skimmer. I'm wondering if something like that would work but not sure if carbon works dry.
