Nathan Marshall –
I’ve used Seachem Amguard in my 55-gallon freshwater tank for three months. Ammonia levels dropped quickly after the first week. My fish seem more active and the water is noticeably clearer. No fish deaths or stress signs observed.
Nicola Hodges –
Works well in a marine tank with a mix of corals and fish. I added it weekly during feeding cycles. The water clarity improved and I no longer need to test ammonia as frequently.
Jasmine Lyman –
After a sudden spike in ammonia due to overfeeding, I used Amguard and saw a significant drop within 48 hours. The bacteria established well and maintained stable levels over the next two months.

Good product, especially for beginners. Easy to use and doesn’t require any special equipment. I added it to my planted tank and noticed less algae growth as well.
