Seachem AM-Guard (Liquid)

Seachem AmGuard

Product Description:

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 12–14; at this pH no ammonia removing product can function, and thus a false positive reading will result.

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 doesn’t degrade for nearly forty-eight hours. That’s nearly twice as long as our competitors’ products.

Directions:

• BEGINNER: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 200 L daily or as needed to reduce ammonia.
• ADVANCED: If you have an Ammonia Alert that is reading alert, then use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 400 L daily. If it reads alarm, then use 1 capful for every 200 L daily. If it reads toxic, then use 1 capful for every 80 L daily.
• EXPERT: If using our MultiTest : Free & Total Ammonia test kit, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L 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 US 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 approx. 100 US gallons you would use 0.5*1*100=50 mL. If water temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F) do not use.
