It is safe to use during tank cycling and is ideal for treating emergency situations. 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. Unlike competing products, AmGuard™converts it into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter. It 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 AmGuard™ cannot function and thus a false positive reading will result. For long term ammonia control, use Seachem Stability® and Matrix™. Use Ammonia Alert® or MultiTest™: Free \u0026amp; Total Ammonia to directly monitor levels of free ammonia. AmGuard™ also removes chlorine and chloramines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 1 capful (5 mL) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or as needed to reduce ammonia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eADVANCED: 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXPERT: If using our MultiTest™: Free \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf water temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F) do not use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714418331800,"sku":"000116077309","price":19.52,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/0950\/9016\/files\/67107760_1_1.jpg?v=1750275583","url":"https:\/\/thepetsource.ca\/products\/seachem-amguard-liquid-500ml","provider":"The Pet Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
