About this item:
Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish. Ammonia is the #1 killer of freshwater fish. API AMMO-LOCK Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Ammonia Detoxifier works instantly to detoxify ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines in fresh and saltwater aquariums. It protects fish cells and promotes healthy gill function by eliminating fish stress caused by ammonia. API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Treatment does not remove ammonia from water; it converts it to a non-toxic form. Aquarium water will still test positive for ammonia until it is removed by the biological filter. For best results, use as directed on the product label. If your aquarium tests positive for ammonia, do a partial water change, then neutralize the ammonia with API AMMO-LOCK Ammonia Detoxifier Aquarium Treatment. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
Got this after trying other products that say they help control Ammonia but to no effect. However API Ammo Lock actually worked after just 3 treatments, very impressed with this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as intended but not concentrated so dosnt last very long
Bought to deal with an ammonia spike. Works as intended and converts the ammonia to its non toxic form for 48hrs. Easy to use and measure out.It’s worth noting that if you are using the API ammonia test, the non toxic form of ammonia still shows up as the test looks for both NH3 & NH4. So you could be fooled into thinking this product isn’t working.I used a Seachem Ammonia Alert (which only tests for the toxic form NH3) to keep an eye on when this product was wearing off.Only issue is the bottle dosnt last very long, as it’s not a concentrated solution so if you have a prolonged ammonia issue as I did (my cycle crashed after medication) you will run out.
5.0 out of 5 stars It does the job
Well I didn't want to use chemicals too much but had a bad ammonia spike, so I followed the instructions and treated my aquarium, the Seachem alert said ammonia level is safe but the liquid API test showed higher ammonia, apparently this is how it should be as the Ammo Lock converts the bad ammonia to good ammonia which does not harm your fish, it seems to work for me so in an emergency I can recommend this product.

It does what it says
5.0 out of 5 stars Saved the lives of my fish, I am very grateful
This product saved the lives of my fish. My goldfish decided to have some children which overloaded my pond filter and water cleansing system. Ordered a submersible pump for water change with hose for water changing, but it takes a long time to receive delivery of bulky items like a submersible pump and time is required for setup. Adding this chemical was a fast emergency solution for the extra chemicals generated by a suddenly overpopulated pond. No fish were killed due to Bolo's fast delivery of this item.

Invaluable when tank went awol. Kept the fish alive as I dealt with the issue in the tank. Great size for the price.
3.0 out of 5 stars I'd like to see some proof that it converts Ammonia to ...
I have used this for almost a week now & I am always reading 0.25 ppm Ammonia using the API water test kit, I'd like to see some proof that it converts Ammonia to less a toxic substance, if that's the case no Ammonia would be present as it has been 'converted'. To be honest I feel it has very little effect on the Ammonia what so ever & is like a humans placebo. I have tap water that reads lees than 0.25ppm, at a guess I'd say 12ppm & I add 5ml per 20-30ltr during a water change - which has little effect as I still read 0.25ppm Ammonia regardless how many water changes I do my readings are as follows - Ammo 0.25ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 20ppm. I also use Tetra Ph/Kh minus which states adding 25ml to the aquarium 'will instantly remove Ammonia' up to 4.0ppm.....it doesn't, all it does is lower the Ph sharply which in turn in combination with the 0.25ppm Ammo stresses the fish even more!!
Works well
API Ammo Lock worked well for me the fist time I used it. As my Aquarium cycled, the ammonia went down to nil. It just took a week.
Excellent Product!
I've used this for years and it never fails me! Does exactly what it says it should and FAST.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS but it only neutralizes ammonia's effect on fish and does not reduce ammonia
I feel like the description on Bolo is misleading but once you get the product, it is very clear. If you have ammonia in your reef tank, your fish are in danger. This product gives your fish a couple of days for you to either get the ammonia down or find them a new home.I was having issues with a newer tank, and I dosed the tank with this product just to be sure everyone was safe. Well, in the morning, my royal gramma had passed away, BUT the sea horses and dottyback miraculously were still alive. I thought, oh crap, the Ammo-Lock killed the gramma (but now I'm certain the exposure to ammonia, nitrites, and phosphates were just too much for him, Ammo-Lock or not). The seahorses survive and went to a friend, but the dottyback stayed because he was doing ok. 2-1/2 days later, he was about 5 minutes from death. I realized then that the Ammo-Lock had saved him and the seahorses because I saw first hand that the Ammo-Lock had worn off just like the instructions said: it only lasts about two days . So, the dottyback got tossed into a tank with lots of coral, and he recovered within the hour. I dosed again with the Ammo-Lock when I got a bit of ammonia in that tank (it's a long story), and he's still going strong. The corals are fine, and the tank parameters didn't change a bit after dosing.This stuff really works. If you have a complete tank meltdown like I did, this will save fish lives while you figure out how to save the tank. You may still lose a fish or two, but Ammo-Lock is a hail Mary to begin with. If you're having issues with a new tank or start to see the beginnings of tank meltdown, Ammo-Lock is a must. I will ALWAYS have a bottle handy.
Outstanding product
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.
