Fritz Pro Aquatics Ammonium Chloride 500g

Fritz ProAquatics Ammonium Chloride can be usedas a source of ammonia to initiate the growth ofnitrifying bacteria in closed aquatic systems withoutthe presence of animal life. In most aquariums, thebiological cycle begins when introducing livestock.Fish excrete ammonia, which acts as a food sourcefor nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria convertammonia into nitrite and then nitrite into nitrate. UsingAmmonium Chloride when starting a biological cycletakes the place of livestock as an ammonia source. Dosage / Instructions:One teaspoon of ammonium chloride (approx. 4.5 g) per100 gallons of water will yield an ammonia concentrationof approx. 4 ppm. Determine water volume and addappropriate amount of ammonium chloride. Allowammonium chloride to dissolve thoroughly before usingan accurate test kit to determine the ammonia level.Raise the ammonia concentration to 3—4 ppm beforeadding a nitrifying bacteria product such as FritzZyme®or FritzZyme TurboStart®. Be careful not to overdose.Ammo
