Api Ammo Lock 118ml

Description

API Ammo Lock 118ml

API Ammo Lock 118ml (SKU: APH28) rapidly detoxifies ammonia produced by fish waste, uneaten food, and organic breakdown. It works on contact to convert toxic free ammonia into a non-toxic form, preventing ammonia burn and gill damage. Unlike standard chemicals that disrupt the nitrogen cycle, Ammo Lock leaves the detoxified ammonia accessible to beneficial filter bacteria, allowing biological filtration to process it safely.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Emergency Ammonia Spikes: Apply immediately when test kits reveal elevated ammonia levels to safeguard fish.

• New Tank Setup: Dose during initial cycling to protect early livestock from new tank syndrome.

• Overstocked Tanks & Transport: Use when stocking density is temporarily high or during live fish transport.

How to Use

1. Dosage Rate: Add 5 mL per 38 L (10 US gallons) of aquarium water.

2. Dose daily as needed until ammonia levels drop to 0 ppm through biological filtration.

3. Safe for all freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

4. Note: Salicylate-based ammonia test kits (such as API Ammonia Test Kits) will accurately show reduced toxicity over time, whereas Nessler-based tests may still detect locked ammonia.
