- Detoxifies ammonia in both aquarium water and tap water.
- Helps make your aquarium water safe for your finned friends instantly!

API Ammo-Lock Freshwater & Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier is specially formulated to instantly detoxify ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Ammonia is continually released through your finned friends’ gills, urine and solid waste, and it can also be released from uneaten food and decaying organic matter. The effects of ammonia can be harmful and potentially fatal to fish, depending on how much is released. While this treatment does not remove ammonia from the water, it converts it into a non-toxic form, keeping your underwater buddies safe. While API Test Kits (sold separately) will show a reduction in ammonia, a 25% water change is still recommended after dosing. If your aquarium does test positive for ammonia, do a partial water change and then neutralize the ammonia with this fast-acting formula. API Aquarium products make it easy to keep your aquarium in good condition, so your fish can stay happy and healthy.

Instructions
Use the API Dosing Cap on the Bottle. Add 5ml per 10 U.S. gallons of aquarium water. Continue to add AMMO-LOCK every 2 days until ammonia is not detected. If, after 7 days, ammonia is still present, perform a partial water change, service your biological filter and reduce feeding.
Tip: AMMO-LOCK does not remove ammonia; it converts it to a non toxic form. After using AMMO-LOCK, your aquarium water will still test positive for ammonia even though it is in a non toxic form which will be removed by the biological filter.
FAQ
What does API AMMO LOCK do?
API AMMO LOCK’S main function is to detoxify ammonia, converting it into a non-toxic form. This non-toxic ammonia is then removed by the biological filter, or aquarium cycle, in the usual way. API AMMO LOCK is also a dechlorinator, and will remove chlorine and chloramines from tap water.
Will API AMMO LOCK work in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums?
Yes, API AMMO LOCK is effective in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
After API AMMO LOCK has detoxified the ammonia, will ammonia levels still show when testing?
Yes. API AMMO LOCK detoxifies ammonia, but it does not remove it, which means the ammonia will still show up when using test kits.
Can API AMMO LOCK be used with API medications?
Yes, API AMMO LOCK can be used safely with all API medications.
Does API AMMO LOCK reduce the smell of ammonia in aquarium water?
API AMMO LOCK helps reduce fish stress associated with ammonia presence, and promotes healthy gill function. It does not directly eliminate odors.
