danielle coley: It does what it says

United Kingdom on Oct 23, 2023

Lt. Dingleberry: My bait was turning red & dying to due ammonia suffocation. 1 cap full in a 40 gal tank solved the problem. My bait now stays alive & healthy for 7 hours, easily.

Morgan: I recently introduced an ammonia detoxifier into my fish tank, and I can't express how relieved I am with the results. This product has truly been a game-changer in maintaining a healthy and balanced aquatic environment for my fish.

The effectiveness of this ammonia detoxifier is remarkable. In no time at all, it neutralized the harmful ammonia levels in my tank, creating a safer and more comfortable habitat for my fish. I noticed a visible improvement in their behavior and vitality, which speaks volumes about the product's ability to alleviate stress and promote fish health.

The ease of use is another standout feature. The instructions were clear and straightforward, making the application process a breeze. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced aquarist, the ammonia detoxifier is hassle-free and doesn't require any complex procedures.

One of the best parts is that this product doesn't just mask the ammonia; it completely eliminates it. I appreciated the fact that it doesn't interfere with the accuracy of water tests or compromise the effectiveness of the tank's biological filtration system. It's a solution that addresses the root cause of ammonia issues...

Alexandra Nofi: I was having awful ammonia problems in my tank, despite it A) not being overstocked B) not overfeeding C) no dying plants. I was doing daily water changes (45%) and the ammonia was still building up. Even after replacing the filter (the filter did need replacing) the ammonia was still building up though not as fast as before. For a tank that I've had set up for two months now, it was really frustrating how it wouldn't cycle properly.

What I did was change the water, then put in the ammo lock along with two other API products, stress coat+ and quick start. I think it helps to use ammo lock with other API products, since they do make their products "work together". Anyway, I did this once a day, every day for 4 days. On day four ammonia was at 0ppm.

You can't just put ammo lock in and forget about it though. Ammonia builds upon ammonia, so you still have to do water changes to get it all out of the tank. Having the nitrifying bacteria helps to make the conversion of remaining ammonia to nitrate more manageable for the tank.

Rob Pennypacker: I bought this when I had a spike in my ammonia levels in my fish tank. It worked to help bring the ammonia level down, while I was doing water changes. It never completely removed the ammonia though, but it did drastically lower them. It helped to keep the fish alive and stable while doing water changes, so for that I would buy it again, if ever needed.

TwinkleTwinkle: I have a 2 gallon tank with a Betta and snail. Some plants and a strong enough filter. I don’t think I over feed and clean up leftovers before turning the filter back on. I removed any dead or rotting plant pieces and did a partial water change. I used non chlorinated tap water. The next day the ammonia levels on detector were worse. I swapped out a little bit more water and expected a change. Nothing! I ordered this product it came next day. I was so concerned because directions are for a ratio of a ten gallon tank. My brain does not work well first thing in the morning and I was not going to start mixing up 10 gallons of water either. If you’re in the same boat, fear not. I’ve got you covered. I have included in pictures that the cap has measurements for 1,5 and 10 milliliters.
1ml. of solution per 2 gallons of water, 5ml. Solution per 10 gallons of water and
10ml. Solution per 20 gallons of water. Basically whatever gallons your tank is, divide in half and that number is the amount of ml. needed. Ammonia levels were reduced in minutes.

Raj Pakhare: 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.

yoges-thambi: This is a good product for treat the ammonia Detoxifier !!

Pamela Groleau: Fonctionne bien mais le taux d'amoniaque ne doit pas être trop eleve.

Canada on Dec 26, 2021

Steve: Ammolock does what it claims, it buffers the ammonia to make it safe. This is not a cure to reverse advanced ammonia sickness caused by lack of care. We are water keepers, not fish keepers. Clean water will always keep the fish healthy. I use this whenever I need to exchange old media for new media, this and some cycle ensures none of the fish are affected by any accidental increase in ammonia. Plus, this is great if you find yourself needing an algaecide, algae when killed can cause a huge swing in ammonia, as it is still a plant and contributes to the oxygen and ecosystem, even if its not pretty.

Killing it off quickly can affect fish, adding ammolock to the aquarium ensures that the fish bugs are safe and sound.
