The Science

AmGuard specifically targets the free form of ammonia, which is the toxic portion harmful to aquatic life. It converts ammonia into a non-toxic compound that your biofilter can process safely. Unlike some other products, AmGuard does not alter pH, and it remains active for up to 72 hours. For accurate monitoring, use in conjunction with an ammonia test kit. For long-term ammonia management, pair AmGuard with Seachem Stability and Matrix to maintain a stable, healthy aquarium environment.

Directions for Use

Shake well before use. Dose 1 capful per 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or as needed. Ensure your tank has a functioning biofilter for optimal ammonia removal. Monitor ammonia levels regularly to maintain a safe environment for your aquatic life.

Heads-up

Do not use if water temperature exceeds 30 °C (86 °F). While AmGuard detoxifies ammonia quickly, it does not replace proper filtration or water changes in heavily stocked aquariums.
