Ammonia for cycling?

[Psylk87]

Anyone used this kind of ammonia for cycling your tank?

Amazon.com: DrTim's Aquatics Ammonium chloride for Aquarium: Pet Supplies

What kind of experience did you have with it? I am trying to cycle a 5.5 gallon tank so I can set up a shrimp colony.

I haven't used it but I've seen some people on here that have used it. Can't remember the outcome but I don't remember any major issues.

Okay well I bought it so hopefully it works well lol

I haven't personally but know people who have cycled successfully using it. The only thing a few discovered is the recommended dose is on the low side even though it's supposed to reach @4ppm. So, if you use it, add the dose & wait 1/2hr & see if you need to add bit more.

Yeah I read that in the reviews. I will play with dosage a little.

Thanks!
