Product Description
Dr.Tim's Ammonia Solution is a pure, reagent-grade ammonium chloride designed for safe fishless cycling in aquariums. Free from additives, dyes, and scents, it simulates natural ammonia production without the unpredictable side effects of fish food or live feeding methods.
Dose precisely using standard test kits to maintain complete control over ammonia and nitrite levels. Odourless and reliable for establishing stable nitrogen cycles in freshwater, marine, and reef systems.
Each 60ml bottle treats up to 100 gallons (359 litres).
What is Dr.Tim's Ammonium Chloride Solution?
A fishless cycling treatment made from reagent-grade ammonium chloride, specially formulated to fuel nitrifying bacteria growth. Unlike traditional solutions or pure ammonia, it includes secondary reagent-grade materials that simulate organic matter and accelerate bacterial colonisation.
How to Use
Apply 4 drops per gallon (4.5 litres) of aquarium water. Measure carefully, ammonium chloride is toxic to fish, plants, and invertebrates and must be completely consumed by bacteria before adding livestock.
Use ammonia and nitrite test kits throughout cycling to ensure water is ammonia-free before introducing inhabitants.
Why Ammonium Chloride?
Fishless cycling establishes nitrifying bacteria colonies before stocking your tank. These bacteria remove ammonia and waste chemicals produced by decaying food and fish waste, creating a stable, safe environment for fish, plants, and invertebrates in freshwater, marine, and reef aquariums.
