Ion Chromatography

Intro statement

From wikipedia...

Ion chromatography (or ion-exchange chromatography) is a chromatography process that separates ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to the ion exchanger. It works on almost any kind of charged molecule—including large proteins, small nucleotides, and amino acids. However, ion chromatography must be done in conditions that are one unit away from the isoelectric point of a protein.[1]

Fish Tank

The water chemistry of a fish tank is critical to the well being of tank inhabitants. Fish food is consumed and converted to waste products. These waste products include ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
