Product details
Seachem AmGuard 100ml (775) is a liquid water-treatment product designed to detoxify toxic free ammonia in aquarium systems. It is used during tank cycling and is also intended for emergency situations when ammonia levels spike. AmGuard helps convert toxic free ammonia into a form that is less harmful and can be handled by the aquarium’s biological filter, supporting safer water conditions until normal biological control is established.
Features:
- Detoxifies toxic free ammonia (the form that is harmful to fish) rather than treating “total ammonia” indiscriminately
- Begins working quickly, helping reduce risk during sudden ammonia increases
- Suitable for use during tank cycling, when beneficial nitrifying bacteria are still establishing
- Helps provide time for the biofilter to process ammonia over an extended period (up to around 72 hours)
- Does not alter pH, which can help maintain stable conditions while you address the ammonia source
- Designed to work differently than test-kit methods that temporarily raise pH to very high levels to measure free ammonia
- Also removes chlorine and chloramines from treated water
