AmGuard questions

[LaloJ]

So I found bacterial diseases in an Eibli angelfish that I had in quarantine, and I had to put it in a hospital tank to medicate it, it has finished its treatment but I still have it in the hospital tank with fresh water regularly and I have placed amguard to control ammonia, however I have noticed the same reading with my test, is it supposed to reduce ammonia or just neutralize it?
I'm going to put water, biological elements and new water from my DT directly into my QT to return to the fish, but at the moment I have not had time to do it, by the way does anyone know what medications Amguard can work with? I only know that it cannot be combined with cupramine.

From what I remember, it neutralizes it. Offhand, other than copper I don't know what other medications AmGuard is compatible with (sorry).

Like the claims about Prine, I am not convinced it does anything useful.

The label says it's supposed to work in minutes, and add daily if necessary, so well I've used it on a couple of occasions and my fish have shown no signs of stress to the ammonia present though but I'd love to know if it also removes the damage it causes to the internal organs of the fish.

Does Prime actually "Detoxify" free ammonia, NH3?

This started when @Dan_P was looking at measuring NH3 with seneye and was curious about performance near zero NH3. I suggested trying Prime to artificially zero out the NH3 sensor, and the results were weird... so I checked with my seachem kit. Prime by Seachem is commonly used to treat tap...

The best thing to do is add some biosponge and an oversized bottle of cycling bacteria

I was finally able to make the movement with water from my main tank, I'll be on hand with water changes if the new quarantine requires it, maybe I'll add some liquid bacteria just in case and I'll monitor the levels every night.
