AmGuard safely, rapidly and efficiently detoxifies toxic free ammonia. It is safe to use during tank cycling and is ideal for treating emergency situations. AmGuard is the strongest liquid ammonia binder on the market. It works within minutes to detoxify free ammonia, and it doesn’t degrade for nearly 72 hours. That’s at least twice as long as our competitors’ products. Unlike competing products, AmGuard converts it into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter. It does not alter pH. Ammonia can exist in two forms: free and ionized. It is only the free form that is toxic. Traditional ammonia test kits convert all ammonia to free ammonia by raising pH to 12–14; at this pH AmGuard cannot function and thus a false positive reading will result. For long term ammonia control, use Seachem Stability and Matrix. Use Ammonia Alert or MultiTest Free & Total Ammonia to directly monitor levels of free ammonia. AmGuard also removes chlorine and chloramines.

SAVED MY TANK, Immediately effective!!
Unfortunately overloaded the biofiltration in my planted tank and added too many fish at once/overfed/overcleaned. I thought the existing filter could handle it but poof, big while cloud one day. Well I figured the ammolock I had would help tide the tank over until the bacteria caught up but it kept going up and my poor fish were gasping for air/overstressed. I looked on the bottle and my ammo lock was expired since 2017! So, I immediately I went to the local petco to pick up a small bottle of AmGuard and when i came back, some of my fish were worse off near death while my ammo levels were off the charts. I quickly did the expert level dose in my tank and my motionless fish revived themselves within seconds.. It bought me time, I immediately did a 50% water change and the fish looked so much better and everyone survived the ammo stress. Over the next 72 hours I did 50% water changes daily cleaning the gravel and curbed feedings until my ammo levels got under control and used this to keep the fish alive and happy while the tank cycled. Now my tank is near cycled with my nitrates finally rising. I will always keep a non-expired bottle of this stuff on hand, great for emergency use!

Ammonia crisis? Buy this.
Excellent product. Definitely the best ammonia treatment out there. Why? Because it does not simply reduce ammonia to its less toxic form, like most treatments. AmGuard binds it to neutralize the poisonous effects of ammonia, but still allows your filter's bacteria to utilize it and multiply -- which is the only way to get out of an ammonia crisis. When you reduce ammonia to its less toxic form, not only can your filter not utilize it, but you also increase the pH of your aquarium, which can kill your fish just as easily as ammonia toxicity.

Excellent ammonia detoxifier chlorine/chloramine as well
this is an excellent product to manage ammonia until you do water changes (lasts 48 hours) it binds the molecules to make the ammonia safer (does not not kill nor remove it - only water changes in an established setup or time in a cycling setup) a little bit goes a long way.

You need to test for Free Ammonia after using this! Total Ammonia tests will show positive!
I'm a big fan of Seachem products, but what a lot of people don't know, when using Safe, AmGuard, Prime or anything which detoxifies ammonia, your ammonia test will still show ammonia present. This is because tests like API Master Test test for Total Ammonia by raising the pH, which stops the binder working and shows the ammonia as still being high. Get yourself the MultiTest Ammonia (Free & Total) test kit (also Seachem) and it will show you the difference. No, I am not on commission, lol, but I have done a lot of reading and used these products a while. And I can tell the product is working from the behaviour of my fish. If you have an ammonia spike, I would recommend this product, but a lot of the Seachem products detoxify ammonia (Safe, Prime, Neutral Regulator). Just make sure you are not testing Total Ammonia - this will still read a problem! It's the Free Ammonia NH3 which is the toxic version.

If you want a product that really works - try Interpets - Ammonia Remover - NOT THIS!!
Amguard did absolutely nothing for my Ammonia levels and at £23.99 you think it would. Extremely disappointed in this product as I am a fan of Seachem's other products - this is the first one I've had any problems with. If you want a product that really works - try Interpets - Ammonia Remover

Siempre uso productos de esta marca y este en concreto me ha ayudado bastante con picos de nitritos y problemas en el acuario, desde entonces siempre lo uso en los cambios de agua junto con seachem prime, te ayuda mucho junto con los cambios de agua a reducir y mantener bastante a raya los niveles de amoniaco.

Great product
I liked how little of the product you have to use, and having excellent piece of mind knowing your ammonia isn’t going to spike during a cycle (first set up or accident cycle)
