Seachem Amguard 100mL — Fast-Acting Emergency Ammonia(NH₃) Detoxifier For Freshwater & Marine Aquariums

Seachem Amguard 100mL (SKU: 725137-775) is an emergency liquid conditioner that neutralises toxic free ammonia (NH₃) in freshwater and marine aquariums. Ammonia spike emergencies occur rapidly during new aquarium cycling, filter failures, overfeeding, or livestock mortality. AmGuard reacts within minutes with free ammonia molecules, converting them into a safe, non-toxic organic salt complex that remains harmless for up to 72 hours.

AmGuard is a powerful liquid solution that quickly and safely detoxifies harmful free ammonia in aquariums, making it ideal for cycling tanks and emergencies. As the strongest binder available, its effects last for nearly 72 hours, converting ammonia into a safe form that the biofilter can easily remove without affecting important to use ammonia test kits that specifically measure free ammonia, like Ammonia Alert or MultiTest Free & Total Ammonia, because traditional kits can give false positives due to their high pH operation, where AmGuard is ineffective.

Unlike competing ammonia reducers that strip oxygen or alter water pH, Amguard is safe for all fish, invertebrates, corals, and nitrifying bacteria. The detoxified ammonia complex remains fully bioavailable to beneficial filter bacteria, allowing biological filtration to process the waste cleanly. Amguard will not interfere with salicylate-based ammonia test kits, such as Seachem MultiTest Ammonia, making it a reliable choice for emergency aquatic management.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Emergency Ammonia Spikes: Rapidly detoxifies toxic free ammonia during biofilter failure or overfeeding.
• New Aquarium Cycling: Protects fish from ammonia toxicity while biological filtration establishes.
• Livestock Transport & Shipping: Prevents ammonia accumulation inside closed transport bags and containers.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Standard Dosage: Add 5 mL (1 capful) per 200 L of aquarium water daily to treat up to 1 mg/L (ppm) of free ammonia(NH₃).
• Emergency High Ammonia: Dose up to 5 times the standard amount (5 mL per 40 L) for free ammonia levels up to 5 mg/L.
• Reapplication: Repeat dosage every 48–72 hours until biological filtration reduces ammonia levels to zero.
