## Questions & Answers

**Q: will the packaging leak while it's shipping?**
A: Mine leaked and was almost half empty upon arrival

**Q: Is it a dropper bottle**
A: No, however they do provide a plastic dropper that works really good

**Q: How often should i use this? everyday? i've read that adding too much ammonia at one time can actually prolong cycling time so i just want to be sure.**
A: Use a liquid testing kit for ammonia daily when using this product. I kept my ammonia levels at about 2 or 3 ppm. Once the ammonia starts to decrease, test for nitrites. Keep ammonia around 2ppm until nitrates appear. Once nitrates appear, you should be pretty much done.

**Q: How many ounces is this?  Nothing in description on volume.  Dr. Tim's sells 2oz. and 4oz.**
A: I received 2 ounces when I ordered it.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great - here’s why...
*by K***I on September 5, 2018*

So when I bought my 54 gallon aquarium... I did not know much. I was told at the LFS to buy this API quick start (good product) and some stress cost stuff and all good start adding fish... so I setup this tank and put the API quick start in and planted plants - one melted and the others did well but 3 days later my tank had a chalky appearance. So I took the filtering system apart EHEIM ( great product) washed the pre-filter and everything cleared. Perhaps it was the rotting plant? Needless to say I had to take the tank down and reset it up at home- same thing chalky after 3 days. So what I learned is that is a bacterial bloom but i provided no fish and no ammonia (fish excrement). So basically the bacteria bloomed and died. Ok I got this now. So did a 50% water change and started over again after receiving the DR Tim’s Ammonia Chloride. Put in API Quick start again and now added 216 drops of ammonium chloride- tested in the morning after. Ammonia was NOW at 4ppm. That evening tested and had a twinge of nitrite - just a barely there. Next morning tested and ammonia about 3ppm and definitely at .50 nitrite.Tested that evening now at 3ppm ammonia and 2.0 ppm nitrite - tested nitrate just a smidge.This thing is just rocking and rolling along in days!!! Only days !!!Following the exact path line! Wish I knew then what I know now - don’t use raw fish or raw shrimp or a bunch of fish food to generate ammonia - get a good product for starting quick with bacteria and this ammonia AN you’re set! This sooo speeds up the process!!! I’ll keep updating...UPDATE: next day: ok now ammonia is at 2ppm; nitrites at 2.00ppm; and nitrates SMIDGE... between 0ppm and 5.00 ppm. Plants in tank are thriving NOW!UPDATE 4 days in:Ammonia 2 ppm down from 4ppmNitrites 5ppm up from 2ppmNitrates now 10ppm up from trace5 days - ammonia 1 ppm (when it gets down to about .50 I’m gonna have to add some more in)- nitrites 5 ppm- nitrates 20 ppm now6 daysAmmonia at ZERO - gotta add a full dose again.Nitrites 2 ppmNitrates looks like 2 ppm a teensy bit darker but only a smidge - Nitrates going down?WELL water is crystal sparkling but apparently I have to add more ammonia....so gonna do itPlants looking REALLY good - I wonder if the plants are taking care of some of the nitrates?Tested Ammonia after 6 hours after putting it in and ammonia is back up at 4ppm7 daysAmmonia BACK DOWN to only .25 ppm!Nitrites at 2 ppmNitrate at 5 ppm <- I believe the aquatic plants are using up the nitrates! And keeping it in check.8 daysAmmonia 0 ppm (adding another 1/2 dose 2 drops per gallon approximately 106 drops)Nitrites 2 ppmNitrates 2 ppm

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by M***R on August 10, 2025*

Great for cycling your fish tank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome!
*by E***I on October 30, 2023*

Right now i’m currently in the nitrite reading stage of the cycle. Took 2 weeks for that to happen. It also works way faster with a higher pH. My first attempt i had really soft and acidic water and there was no change for the whole month i was testing. After a water leak scare (false alarm) i refilled the tank and basically started over but added crushed coral. and like i said, it took about 2 weeks for nitrite to start showing which didn’t happen at all in the first try.This stuff works. Definitely faster than using fish food as an ammonia source.
