Directions for use
For both freshwater and salt water aquariums of 38 litres or more add 1 teaspoon 5ml of AMMOLOCK for each 38 litre of water. For smaller aquariums up to 19 litres, add 1/2 teaspoon 2.5ml of AMMO LOCK to the aquarium water. Continue to add API ammo lock every 2 days until ammonia is not detected. You will need an ammonia test kit to confirm this.
If you are still getting ammonia readings after 7 days, then this does indicate possible overfeeding, overstocking or inadequate biological filtration. Performing a partial water change and reducing feeding should help rectify the balance. Also make sure you never rinse the filter sponges under tap water as this kills off any beneficial bacteria present.
