> Neutralizes ammonia, chlorine and chloramines
> Instantly detoxifies heavy metals
> Will not cause deadly pH swings
> Safe for biological filtration
> Great for small aquariums and bowls
DIRECTIONS
Before administering any water treatment, it is
always wise to check your water quality levels
to ensure they are within their acceptable
ranges. Use 10 drops per 1 gallon of water.
The dosage can be increased or repeated as
needed without toxic effects to plants and
aquatic life including reef systems with live
rock. One teaspoon (5ml) of Ammonia
Remover per 10 gallons of water will detoxify
1 ppm ammonia, 3.2 ppm chloramines
or 2.1 ppm of chlorine.
WARNINGS
Although harmless, keep out of reach of
children. Not for human or drug use. Not for
use on fish intended for human consumption. Ammonia Remover is not a medication
and is not intended to be a substitute for any
chemo-therapeutic agent. This product may
reduce medication dyes such as malachite
green, methylene blue and potassium
permanganate. Ammonia Remover is
compatible with ammonia test kits using
Salicylate reagents. Do not use with test kits
based on Nessler reagents.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS FOR HIGH AMMONIA LEVELS
Testing for ammonia is extremely important. Ammonia will be elevated during a new tank
cycle, but can also be elevated in established aquariums if the aquarium maintenance is not
maintained. If water is not changed regularly, filters are not kept clean, if the tank is
overstocked, or if medication is used that disrupts the biological cycle ammonia levels can
increase. Test immediately anytime you have sick fish or a fish death. Ammonia is measured
at parts per million (ppm). Aquarium water quality is critical to the health of tank inhabitants.
Lethal levels of ammonia can accumulate rapidly in the absence of true nitrifying bacteria.
The ideal ammonia reading should register at "0". If ammonia is present in the aquarium,
fish may exhibit the following symptoms: rapid gill movement, clamped fins, bacterial
infections and death.
It is normal to see the ammonia level rise during the cycling period of a new aquarium. Do
not try to lower the ammonia if you are cycling a new tank by using AMMONIA REMOVER,
you are only preventing the cycling process from taking place. Using a nitrifying bacteria
product such as our BIOZYME will help lower the ammonia without disrupting the cycle of
the aquarium.
0.5-1.0 ppm - Reduce feeding, clean filter and siphon gravel to remove excess dirt and
debris. Add recommended dosage of AMMONIA REMOVER and use a beneficial bacteria
such as our BIOZYME to help lower the ammonia level.
2.0-3.0 ppm - Temporarily stop feeding and perform a 25% water change. Clean filter and
siphon gravel to remove excess dirt and debris. Add recommended dosage of AMMONIA
REMOVER and use BIOZYME to help lower the ammonia level.
4.0-5.0 ppm - Follow previous steps and complete a 50% water change. Consult a local fish
store for advice on correcting imbalance.
6.0-7.0 ppm - This is becoming an extremely lethal level of ammonia for aquatic life.
Complete a 75% water change and consult a local fish store for advice on correcting
imbalance. |
