Ammonia and Aquarium
Ammonia is a toxic composite that forms through biological processes like respiration secretion, and decomposition. All of these processes lead to the transformation of organic nitrogen and are usually activated by bacteria that degrade amino acids: amino nitrogen (-NH2) transforms into ammonia (NH3). Moreover the fish release ammonia through breathing and urea. So the ammonia can concentrate in the water even when fish are fasting, like in small transporting bags. This composite has to be monitored and controlled when setting up a new aquarium or in an established, crowded one. (Don’t use it to fix intentional overfeeding.)
How Equo Remover NH3 works
Equo Remover NH3 neutralizes toxic ammonia, transforming it into a harmless, easily-filtered molecule, the amino methanesulfonate salt. Remover NH3 also eliminates chlorine and chloramine.
The product contains Aloe Vera extract which increases immune defense and health of the fishes’ epidermis and gills, due to its richness of Acemannanes and Glycosides. In this way, Remover NH3 also reduces negative stress effects.
Equo Remover NH3 can be used independently, but Equo suggests using it in conjunction with Nutrobact, Bacterya, and Bio-Nitronex for an optimal nitrogen cycle.
The Package
The vials contain 5 ml of solution; each one can treat up to 200 liters of water, and eliminates even 1 mg/l of ammonia. Both marine and freshwater aquariums need the same dose
