Tetra Lifeguard All-in-One

Hello guys,

Has anyone that had used Tetra All-in-One have their ammonia and chlorine levels slightly increase? They are in safe range, but I’m worried that they may continue rising as I continue treatment. Any thoughts?

Hi, not used it or I believe the main ingredient. This is the note I have from a previous experienced poster.


1-chloro-2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyl-4-imidazolidinone - The active ingredient is a stabilized form of chlorine

That could explain chlorine increase?

I’ve not heard of issues with it (apart from lively discussion on if it works haha). But in new or unstable or tanks with a lot of cleans I find the nitrifying bacteria is less resistant to meds. So as a guess, the ammonia increase might be from some of the bacterial population being killed off and giving a small mini-cycle.
