Questions
Explanation for rotten egg smell? I just opened a new bottle that seemed to possibly have a tiny leak, but the worse part was the strong smell of rotten eggs after opening it. Is this normal for this chemical?
- It is normal to have somewhat of a rotten egg smell.
Helpful?
Can I add this to the aquarium while it is cycling or does that affect the process?
- Hey there! This Ammonia Neutralizer is intended to be used after the tank has went through the Nitrate Cycle.
Helpful?
Am I supposed to get lower ammonia levels after using this?
- Hi there! It will help break down and control ammonia, but you still need to do proper water changes and cut back on the feeding.
Helpful?
Should this be used instead of your water conditioner when I do water changes or should I continue to use water conditioner and use this if there is an ammonia spike?
- Aqueon Ammonia Neutralizer can be used along with your normal water conditioner to reduce ammonia build before you have a spike. It neutralizes chlorine in tap water and reduces ammonia levels that rise naturally in a fish tank from.the accumulation of fish waste and the breakdown of uneaten food.
Helpful?
my bottle leaked all over my counter.. smell will not come out? what should i do? is it dangerous to inhale in large quantities?
- Please contact our Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527.
Helpful?
Can this be used along with Microbe-Lift Nite Out II - Starter bacteria that removes ammonia and nitrate?
- We recommend that you use one or the other, not both.
Helpful?
Can you put this when the fish are in the water or do I have to take them out.. I need help it my first time.
- Yes. This is intended to be used while the fish are in the tank.
Helpful?
Need an freshwater ammonia test that is saliclate based, not nessler reagents, Anyone know where I can find this?
- Yes, ammonia neutralizers convert ammonia (NH3) into a less toxic compound ammonium (NH4) and many of the ammonia test kits measure for both NH3 & NH4, which would not help you if you are using an ammonia neutralizer. Hagen has one that differentiates between the two. I'd personally be cautious using any of the test strips as they are not as accurate as the liquid test kits.
Helpful?
How often can I put Aqueon Ammonia Neutralizer, every day?, every week? My ammonia and nitrate, nitrite levels are high. Can I put this product daily?
- It can be done once a day but don’t do it for an extended period of time. If the ammonia level remains high for a long period of time then there is something wrong with the aquarium. Usually it is a matter of the tank having too many fish in it too soon or just too many period, or regular over-feeding.
Helpful?
can this be use on fish, that are for human consumption ?
- Yes, it is just for adding CO2 to water supply for plants in freshwater. CO2 is already in there, just not enough for proper growth of plants in freshwater and corals in salt water.

Levels of ammonia won't go down. How do I change that? New tank
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
How often should I put Tetra dechlorinator into my 2.2 gallon fish tank with three guppies in it? I know the amount, I just need the best time in between please. Thank you!
I just purchased Imagitarium Ammonia-Reducing filter media cubes from Petco and there are no instructions for how to use. I have a 5 gallon tank with a submerged Built-in filtration system how many cubes do I use and how do I put them in my filter? Please provide the instructions thank you for your time.
My flowerhorn tanks water has exptremely high nitrate level . I returned from vacation yesterday to find a cloudy tank and high levels nitrate . I did a 50% water change and added prime . He now is gasping for air or at least that’s what it looks like and nitrates are still in the red . I was told to add aquarium salts and wait it out . I’m scared I’ll loose him . What should I do quarantine
Reds's aquarium is so very cloudy. Can't see turtle til she surfaces! Don't know what caused this or what to do. Ordered vacuum but it won't be here until Friday. Please Help. Put in stuff for ammonia.
Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
I recently got my goldfish (very small) and I put him in a 5 gallon tank (new tank with conditioned water and filter). He swims around very fast and up and down the tank walls. When I feed him flakes, he chews really quickly and then spits it out. I can’t tell if he actually eats anything. The ammonia levels are a little high (3.0) so I put in some ammonia fixer. All the other tests seem normal. Is there anything else I can do?
How to do clean water which fill in aquarium if doesn't have water conditioner?
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
My Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami, Is twiching and i really don't know what to do i think its ammonia.
