APIAMMO-LOCK Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier 118 ml Bottle

Got this after trying other products that say they help control Ammonia but to no effect. However API Ammo Lock actually worked after just 3 treatments, very impressed with this product.

This product saved the lives of my fish. My goldfish decided to have some children which overloaded my pond filter and water cleansing system. Ordered a submersible pump for water change with hose for water changing, but it takes a long time to receive delivery of bulky items like a submersible pump and time is required for setup. Adding this chemical was a fast emergency solution for the extra chemicals generated by a suddenly overpopulated pond. No fish were killed due to Amazon's fast delivery of this item.

Bought to deal with an ammonia spike. Works as intended and converts the ammonia to its non toxic form for 48hrs. Easy to use and measure out.It’s worth noting that if you are using the API ammonia test, the non toxic form of ammonia still shows up as the test looks for both NH3 & NH4. So you could be fooled into thinking this product isn’t working.I used a Seachem Ammonia Alert (which only tests for the toxic form NH3) to keep an eye on when this product was wearing off.Only issue is the bottle dosnt last very long, as it’s not a concentrated solution so if you have a prolonged ammonia issue as I did (my cycle crashed after medication) you will run out.

It does what it says

Invaluable when tank went awol. Kept the fish alive as I dealt with the issue in the tank. Great size for the price.

Well I didn't want to use chemicals too much but had a bad ammonia spike, so I followed the instructions and treated my aquarium, the Seachem alert said ammonia level is safe but the liquid API test showed higher ammonia, apparently this is how it should be as the Ammo Lock converts the bad ammonia to good ammonia which does not harm your fish, it seems to work for me so in an emergency I can recommend this product.

Its great for ammo spikes and setting up new fish tanks with fish before the tanks settles in. Works straight away and within 10 min or so, brings high levels of ammonia down to safe levels, or a least lowers ammonia quite rapidly. Great for a quick fix.

I have used this for almost a week now & I am always reading 0.25 ppm Ammonia using the API water test kit, I'd like to see some proof that it converts Ammonia to less a toxic substance, if that's the case no Ammonia would be present as it has been 'converted'. To be honest I feel it has very little effect on the Ammonia what so ever & is like a humans placebo. I have tap water that reads lees than 0.25ppm, at a guess I'd say 12ppm & I add 5ml per 20-30ltr during a water change - which has little effect as I still read 0.25ppm Ammonia regardless how many water changes I do my readings are as follows - Ammo 0.25ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 20ppm. I also use Tetra Ph/Kh minus which states adding 25ml to the aquarium 'will instantly remove Ammonia' up to 4.0ppm.....it doesn't, all it does is lower the Ph sharply which in turn in combination with the 0.25ppm Ammo stresses the fish even more!!

Works well

I always use API products and they continue to not disappoint! I had an ammonia issue in my fresh water tank. Followed the directions and bam, 1st time it worked like a charm and my ammonia is at "0".

I have been using many big brands for my 2 aquarium. I have a one gold fish tank with 18 gold fishes but 2 filters, one top filter and one Fluval canister filter with lots of Biomedia of Api, matrix, denitrate, purigen, etc. But sometimes the ammonia level does increase and tank starts stinking. But with this Api Ammo lock in 2 days everything is under control and the smell also goes away.I have become a fan of API brand and will always buy it.I will recommend these brands if you love your fishes:Seachem, API, ADA, Fluval and BubblesTroubles.

Good
