Description
The product is Seachem Amguard, which is a detoxifier for ammonia. It is most effective when used in emergency situations, and it is concentrated, making it better than any other product on the market. It reacts with free ammonia within minutes, and does not alter pH.
Seachem AmGuard
Detoxifies Ammonia for up to 48 hours
Ideal for emergency situations
More effective than any other ammonia-binding product
Most concentrated product on the market
Seachem AmGuard safely, rapidly, and efficiently removes toxic-free ammonia. It is safe to use during tank cycling and is ideal for treating unexpected emergency situations. AmGuard reacts with free ammonia within minutes and does not alter pH. Ammonia can exist in two forms: free and ionized. It is only the free form that is toxic. Traditional ammonia test kits convert all ammonia to free ammonia by raising pH to 1214; at this pH no ammonia-removing product can function, and thus a false positive reading will result. Use Ammonia Alert orMultiTest: Free & Total Ammonia to directly monitor levels of free ammonia. AmGuard also removes chlorine and chloramines.
Why It's Different
AmGuard is the strongest liquid ammonia binder on the market. It works within minutes to detoxify free ammonia, and it doesnt degrade for nearly forty-eight hours. Thats nearly twice as long as our competitors products.
Directions
BEGINNER: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 200 L (50 gallons*) daily or as needed to reduce ammonia. (Note: The 2 & 4 L containers cap is 10 mL). ADVANCED: If you have an Ammonia Alert that is reading alert, then use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 400 L (100 gallons*) daily. If it reads alarm, then use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 gallons*) daily. If it reads toxic, then use 1 capful for every 80 L (20 gallons*) daily. EXPERT: If using our MultiTest: Free & Total Ammonia test kit, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 gallons*) to remove 1 mg/L (ppm) of free ammonia. Alternatively, you may employ the following formula for a variety of ammonia and water levels: 0.125AV=m (for volume in liters) or 0.5AV=m (for volume in gallons*). A=ammonia concentration in mg/L, V=the volume of water being treated, and m=the volume of AmGuard to use in mL. For example, to remove 1 mg/L of ammonia in 100 gallons* you would use 0.5*1*100=50 mL. If the water temperature is above 30 C (86 F) do not use it.
