Instruction

  • Use Instructions: As a general rule, when using tap water in which chlorine and chloramines are present, but not nitrites, nitrates or other organics - then it is safe to use the less expensive AmQuel. If there is the possibility of nitrites, nitrates and other organics being involved, then AmQuel plus is recommended.Aquariums and Ponds: when using AmQuel with tap water, add AmQuel to water at the recommended dosage to remove ammonia, chlorine and chloramines. To fully condition tap water, add Kordon's novaqua plus as well. Use AmQuel or AmQuel plus and novaqua plus each time a water change is made. If the tap water contains both ammonia and nitrite (this is becoming more common in public water supplies) then AmQuel plus should be used instead of AmQuel. Also see AmQuel plus as to when it should be used.Fish and Invertebrate Shipping And Holding: AmQuel or AmQuel plus and novaqua or novaqua plus should be added to tap water used for shipping fish and invertebrates. Novaqua and AmQuel, when used together, will reduce stress, osmotic and pH shock, probability of infection, and neutralize ammonia, chloramines, chlorine and heavy metals. AmQuel plus and novaqua plus is the more effective combination for these purposes. If the fish are crowded or prone to bump into or abrade each other, Kordon's fish protector formerly polyaqua should be added to both the shipping water and the aquarium or holding tank after shipments are received. Fish protector formerly polyaqua should be used to handle abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins of fishes.Fish and Invertebrate Field Collections: when using water from natural conditions for field collecting the use of AmQuel or AmQuel plus in holding and shipping water will reduce stress in fishes and invertebrates due to ammonia intoxication. If fish will be held for days in containers, AmQuel plus should be used, because it will remove (detoxify) nitrites and nitrates as well. In addition, fish protector formerly polyaqua should be used in holding and shipping water for optimum protection against abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins in fishes.Stability: AmQuel is stable indefinitely when stored in a cool, dark area away from heat and direct sunlight. AmQuel should be kept tightly closed when not in use.Dosage: The Standard Dose of AmQuel is one teaspoon (5 ml) per 10 gallons of fresh or salt water, or one liquid ounce (30 ml) per 60 gallons of water, or one cup (8 liquid ounces - 20 ml) per 480 gallons of water. For other measurements estimate the amounts needed, such as 2 drops per gallon or 1/4 teaspoon for 2.5 gallons of water, or 3 teaspoons for 30 gallons, etc.To remove chlorine and chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia) out of the tap from public water supplies add one Standard Dose (see definition above) to the water to break the bond between the chlorine and ammonia, and to remove all the chlorine, and ammonia that may be in most public water supplies. This will remove up to 3 mg/L chloramines (as monochloramine, NH2Cl). No greater dose is needed for removing most chloramines or all chlorine from public water supplies. For those water supplies with higher amounts of ammonia, use two doses to detoxify/remove all ammonia present.To remove toxic ammonia compounds that build up in aquariums and ponds from the excretion of body wastes by fishes, invertebrates, bacteria, and other aquatic organisms start with a Standard Dose (see definition above). This Standard Dose not only removes the chlorine and chloramines described above, but will also remove (detoxify) at the same time 1.0 mg/L (= approx. 1.0 ppm) of all ammonia compounds in fresh or salt water. Use multiple doses to remove more than 1.0 mg/L ammonia from the water. It is suggested that for tap water where high amounts of chloramines are used by public water utilities the ammonia concentration of the water be tested prior to the addition of AmQuel to determine how much AmQuel is needed. It usually will be the need of a double dose. Also see Contraindications for when there may be problems in the use of AmQuel. The pH of the water being treated affects the speed at which AmQuel removes ammonia. The lower the pH, the slower AmQuel works. At a pH of 7.0 (neutral) AmQuel will remove the ammonia in less than 5 minutes. Several minutes more are needed at higher pHs.To detoxify nitrite, nitrate and other organic compounds that build up in aquariums and ponds from the excretion of body wastes by fishes, invertebrates, bacteria, and other aquatic organisms use Kordon's AmQuel Plus.
