AmmoMix – Nitrogen Cycle Starter for New Aquariums
AmmoMix is an ammonium chloride blend specifically designed to kickstart the nitrogen cycle and activate biological filtration in new aquariums, especially those with inert rocks. This product provides a controlled ammonium (NH3) source, essential for feeding nitrifying bacteria and establishing a stable, fish-safe aquatic ecosystem.
Main Features:
- Boosts the nitrogen cycle – Supplies ammonium to promote the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
- Essential for new aquariums – Ideal for marine and freshwater setups with inert rocks or sterile substrates.
- Safe and effective – Controlled formulation prevents overdosing and chemical imbalances.
- Facilitates biological filtration activation – Helps stabilize the aquarium before adding fish.
- Easy to use – Simple dosing with predictable results in 2-4 weeks.
Directions for Use:
- Initial dosage – Add 1 drop per liter of water.
- Bacteria introduction – Use Modern Reef Nitri-Bac to introduce nitrifying bacteria.
- Repeat dosing – After 3 days, repeat for 3 times or until ammonium (NH3) reaches 2 ppm. Do not exceed 2 ppm!
- Monitor nitrite levels – Continue adding Modern Reef Nitri-Bac until nitrites (NO2) start increasing.
- pH control – If pH drops below 7, perform a 25% water change, taking water from the upper water column.
- Process duration – The nitrogen cycle typically takes 2-4 weeks.
- Fish introduction – Once ammonium (NH3) and nitrites (NO2) are undetectable, the aquarium is ready for fish.
