grungefreek Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hey Guys, Ok what im looking for is that article in which the author (American) conducted chemical analyses on different kitty litters . I have seen it before but cant remember where i saw it. Does anyone know if any Aussie has done the same thing with Kitty Litters Available in Australia?? If Not, im Hopeing i can Do it when i get back to Uni, that is if my professor lets me. So any help finding the article would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoolig Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 G/day, I use a cat litter called ATTAPULGITE in my small internal filters, have done for years, you will find information on Google. I buy it in BNE but it comes from SYD. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett4Perth Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Perhaps you read it on Steves site. link Cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMill Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I think you will find pretty much all kitty litter is based on an iron rich clay called bentonite. I can't imagine there is any component that would make one noticably better than another, other than the absence of deodourisers etc, which you will not find in the generic brands.

mianos Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Kitty litter can also be diatomite and lucern pellets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungefreek Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 I can't imagine there is any component that would make one noticably better than another Hmm Depending on where the actual material is taken from may affect its chemical makeup. Kitty litter can also be diatomite and lucern pellets. Yeah i have found they are mostly made from these materials, havent seen too many that say they are made from bentonite. BNE Whats BNE???? That analysis might be the one i was looking for, thought they had more kitty litter comparisons tho, but maybe i was mistaken. Any other users of Kitty Litters as Substrate???

E4G13M4N Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 From my understanding ATTAPULGITE is basically the same make up as ammogon. Works the same anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
