Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish. Ammonia is the #1 killer of freshwater fish. API AMMO-LOCK Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier works instantly to detoxify ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines in fresh and saltwater aquariums.  API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Treatment does not remove ammonia from water; it converts it to a non-toxic form. Aquarium water will show a reduction in ammonia on API Test Kits, but a 25% water change is still recommended after dosing. For best results, use as directed on the product label. If your aquarium tests positive for ammonia, do a partial water change, then neutralize the ammonia with API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Aquarium Treatment. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium.

Use dosing cap bottle. Add 5 ml per 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water. Add every 2 days until ammonia is not detected. If, after 7 days, ammonia is still present, perform a partial water change, service your filter, and reduce feeding. Tip: AMMO LOCK does not remove ammonia; it converts it to a non-toxic form; so, even though ammonia is in a safe, non-toxic form, aquarium will still test positive for ammonia until it is removed by the biological filter.
