AmmoMix – Nitrogen Cycle Starter for New Marine and Freshwater Aquariums
AmmoMix is a purified ammonium chloride solution specifically designed to initiate the nitrogen cycle in newly established aquariums. It provides a precise and safe source of ammonia (NH₃) to feed nitrifying bacteria, making it ideal for setups using inert rocks, sterile substrates, or new filtration systems.
By simulating the organic load of a stocked tank, AmmoMix triggers the biological filtration process, allowing for a faster and controlled maturation without risking ammonia or nitrite spikes. Its use ensures a safe environment before introducing fish.
Key Features:
-
Stimulates nitrifying bacteria growth with controlled ammonia
-
Perfect for new tanks with dry rock or sterile filters
-
Enables safe and efficient nitrogen cycle initiation
-
Compatible with bacterial starters like Modern Reef Nitri-Bac
-
Won’t affect pH or introduce harmful contaminants
-
Helps stabilize aquariums before adding livestock
How to Use:
-
Dose 1 drop of AmmoMix per liter of aquarium water
-
Add Nitri-Bac or another bacterial culture simultaneously
-
Repeat every 3 days until ammonia level reaches 2 ppm (max)
-
Never exceed 2 ppm of NH₃
-
Monitor nitrite (NO₂) levels and continue adding bacteria until nitrites disappear
-
If pH drops below 7, perform a 25% water change
-
Once both ammonia and nitrites are undetectable, the tank is cycled and ready for fish
Why Choose AmmoMix:
Ideal for jump-starting biological filtration, AmmoMix ensures a fast, controlled cycle in both marine and freshwater tanks. It prevents toxic build-up, shortens the maturation period, and is safe for all aquarium types, especially those using inert or artificial materials.
