Ammo Lock is used for keeping any ammonia from harming your fish, both as an emergency ammonia detoxifier and as a regular additive. It’s important to monitor a tank’s ammonia levels as it can harm fish quickly. Ammo Lock is used for promoting healthy gill function and eliminating fish stress caused by ammonia in the water. It’s also used to detoxify chlorine and chloramine. Ammo Lock works by binding the ammonia molecule and converting it to a non-toxic form that can be removed with water changes or through filtration. Ammonia tests will still show the ammonia in the water although it will no longer do harm to the tank’s fish.
Why Ammo Lock Is Used:
