Product details
API Ammo-Lock 16oz ( Aquarium ) is a patented water conditioner designed to detoxify ammonia and remove chlorine and chloramines in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. Its practical use is protecting aquatic life right when you set up a tank or after a change that may introduce harmful compounds. Rather than eliminating ammonia from the water immediately, it makes ammonia non-toxic to fish while your tank’s biological filter establishes and then matures. This helps reduce stress and supports healthier gill function during the critical period when ammonia levels can rise and fall.
Features:
- Works instantly to detoxify ammonia and remove chlorine and chloramines
- Can be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums
- “Locks up” ammonia in a non-toxic form until it can be broken down by the tank’s natural biological filter
- Helps protect fish from ammonia toxicity while the biological filter becomes established
- Does not inhibit biological filter development
- Compatible with new setups where ammonia may spike as beneficial bacteria establish
- Freeze/thaw does not harm the product (store at room temperature and avoid extreme heat or cold)
Specifications:
- Product type: Water conditioner / ammonia detoxifier
- Tank water type: Freshwater and saltwater
- Bottle size: 16 oz
- Ammonia behavior: Makes ammonia non-toxic; ammonia test results may still read positive until the biological filter consumes it
- Onset of action: Instantly
