Product Description

Fritz Pro Aquatics Ammonium Chloride - Ammonia Source for Fishless Cycling (500 g)

Essential for Nitrifying Bacteria: Provides a precise ammonia source required for beneficial bacteria such as FritzZyme or TurboStart to thrive and complete the nitrogen cycle when fish are not present
Only dose in systems with no livestock, for fishless cycling only
Highly Concentrated Formula: Economical and efficient — just 4.5 g per 100 gallons produces approximately 4 ppm of ammonia. A little goes a long way
Controlled Start: Fishless cycling can reduce risk to sensitive fish during cycling; always test ammonia levels to confirm the cycle is complete before adding livestock
Professional-Grade Quality: Trusted by aquarium professionals and public aquariums; dry, stable, and easy to measure for exact dosing
Made in the USA, 100% employee-owned company

In most aquariums, the biological cycle is started by introducing fish into the aquarium. The fish excrete ammonia which acts as a food source for nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia into nitrite and then nitrite into nitrate. Fritz ammonium chloride (nh4cl) can be used as a source of ammonia to initiate the growth of nitrifying bacteria without the presence of animal life. Fish should not be present while using ammonium chloride.
