It is safe to use during tank cycling and is ideal for treating emergency situations. AmGuard\u2122 is the strongest liquid ammonia binder on the market. It works within minutes to detoxify free ammonia, and it doesn\u2019t degrade for nearly 72 hours. That\u2019s at least twice as long as our competitors\u2019 products. Unlike competing products, AmGuard\u2122 converts it into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank\u2019s biofilter. It does not alter pH.<\/p>\n<p>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\u201314; at this pH AmGuard\u2122 cannot function and thus a false positive reading will result. For long term ammonia control, use Seachem Stability\u00ae and Matrix\u2122. Use Ammonia Alert\u00ae or MultiTest\u2122 Free &amp; Total Ammonia to directly monitor levels of free ammonia. AmGuard\u2122 also removes chlorine and chloramines.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Benefits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Detoxifies ammonia for up to 72 hours<\/li>\n<li>Ideal for emergency situations<\/li>\n<li>More effective than any other ammonia-binding product<\/li>\n<li>Most concentrated product on the market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions and Care<\/h2>\n<p>Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or as needed to reduce ammonia.<\/p>\n<p>ADVANCED: If you have an Ammonia Alert\u00ae that is reading \u201cAlert\u201d, then use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 400 L (100 US gallons) daily. If it reads \u201cAlarm\u201d, then use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily. If it reads \u201cToxic\u201d, then use 1 capful for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily.<\/p>\n<p>EXPERT: If using our MultiTest\u2122 Free &amp; Total Ammonia test kit, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 US 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\u2122 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Storage and Safety<\/h2>\n<p>Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
