Hi, Im about to start cycling a tank, and was a bit confused. I have fritz turbo start 900, and Dr. Tim’s ammonium chloride. Do I put the turbo start in first? And how do I dose the ammonium chloride?

Dry rock simple cycle question

Just seeking some affirmation for my first tank cycle. Using dry rock and sand. Heater & salt water in. Filters out. Add dose of fritz 9 & a couple pinches of fish food. Wait 15 days, big water change. Done? Trying to keep it simple and not rush it. I’ve read both people testing ammonia...

Dose the ammonium chloride to aim for somewhere in the ballpark of 2-5ppm.
Fritz turbo as recommended. A decrease in Ammonia and an increase in nitrite will demonstrate everything is working as it should.
Order of addition makes no difference.
