Seachem AmGuard

AmGuard™ is a top - notch solution for aquarium enthusiasts. It quickly and effectively neutralizes toxic free ammonia in your tank. You can safely use it while cycling your tank, making it perfect for those urgent situations when ammonia levels spike. It stands out as the most powerful liquid ammonia binder available. In just minutes, it transforms free ammonia into a harmless form that your tank's biofilter can easily remove. And here's the best part - it remains effective for up to 72 hours, which is at least twice as long as other products on the market. What's more, it doesn't mess with the pH level of your tank. Remember, ammonia exists in two forms: free and ionized, and only the free form is harmful. Standard ammonia test kits may give a false positive result because they raise the pH to 12 - 14, at which AmGuard™ can't work. Key benefits include: detoxifying ammonia for 72 hours, being ideal for emergencies, outperforming other ammonia - binding products, and being the most concentrated product available.

Using AmGuard™ is a breeze. First, check your aquarium's ammonia level. If there's free ammonia present, add the appropriate amount of AmGuard™ according to the instructions on the bottle. You can use it during the tank cycling process, which is great for new setups. In case of an emergency ammonia spike, add it right away to quickly neutralize the ammonia. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the ammonia levels regularly. Since AmGuard™ works for up to 72 hours, you may need to re - apply it if the ammonia levels start to rise again. When using an ammonia test kit, be aware that it might give a false positive result. This is because the test kit raises the pH, and AmGuard™ can't function at that high pH. So, take this into account when interpreting the test results. Also, store AmGuard™ in a cool, dry place to keep it effective.
