Features

  • Contains one (1) API AMMO-LOCK Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier 4-Ounce Bottle

  • Eliminates fish stress caused by ammonia in freshwater and saltwater aquariums
  • Dose freshwater and saltwater every two days until ammonia is not detected

Description

Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish. Ammonia is the 1 killer of freshwater fish. API AMMO-LOCK Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier works instantly to detoxify ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines in fresh and saltwater aquariums. It protects fish cells and promotes healthy gill function by eliminating fish stress caused by ammonia. API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Treatment does not remove ammonia from water; it converts it to a non-toxic form. Aquarium water will still test positive for ammonia until it is removed by the biological filter. For best results, use as directed on the product label. If your aquarium tests positive for ammonia, do a partial water change, then neutralize the ammonia with API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Aquarium Treatment. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

  • THIS PRODUCT WORKS but it only neutralizes ammonia's effect on fish and does not reduce ammonia
I feel like the description on Amazon is misleading but once you get the product, it is very clear. If you have ammonia in your reef tank, your fish are in danger. This product gives your fish a couple of days for you to either get the ammonia down or find them a new home. I was having issues with a newer tank, and I dosed the tank with this product just to be sure everyone was safe. Well, in the morning, my royal gramma had passed away, BUT the sea horses and dottyback miraculously were still alive. I thought, oh crap, the Ammo-Lock killed the gramma (but now I'm certain the exposure to ammonia, nitrites, and phosphates were just too much for him, Ammo-Lock or not). The seahorses survive and went to a friend, but the dottyback stayed because he was doing ok. 2-1/2 days later, he was about 5 minutes from death. I realized then that the Ammo-Lock had saved him and the seahorses because I saw first hand that the Ammo-Lock had worn off just like the instructions said: it only lasts about two days . So, the dottyback got tossed into a tank with lots of coral, and he recovered within the hour. I dosed again with the Ammo-Lock when I got a bit of ammonia in that tank (it's a long story), and he's still going strong. The corals are fine, and the tank parameters didn't change a bit after dosing. This stuff really works. If you have a complete tank meltdown like I did, this will save fish lives while you figure out how to save the tank. You may still lose a fish or two, but Ammo-Lock is a hail Mary to begin with. If you're having issues with a new tank or start to see the beginnings of tank meltdown, Ammo-Lock is a must. I will ALWAYS have a bottle handy. ... show more

  • Effective treatment
This seems to be the only stuff that gets the ammonia out of our florida tap water. I use this for my axolotl tank. Axolotls produce a lot of ammonia. As you can see in my ammonia gauge, the ammonia level rises frequently and I have to dose the tank. I also use Prime but it's largely ineffective to keep the levels down alone. I will say, this is a small bottle and I now buy a larger one. ... show more

  • Great price!
Performs just like the prime stuff. Does the same thing as the brand known for being prime in the industry. It removes, the chlorine, chlorimides, ammonia and heavy metals etc like a prime water conditioner would. But this is WAY more cheaper than the prime stuff.

  • Wonderful product 👍!
This product saved my fish. I was having an ammonia spike and Ammo-Lock started working as soon as I put it in my Aquarium. This product also shipped very fast and came just in time.
