Fishless cycle help

[Madsmokey12]

Hello I just purchased a 25 gallon innovative marine tank and I’m getting ready to cycle my tank. I was looking to get the Dr Tim’s products for the fish less cycle but unfortunately my LFS no longer carries that brand. They ended up selling me fritzzyme turbo start 900 and fritzzyme Fishless fuel. I’m a little confused on the process of the Fishless fuel on the bottle it saids to dose 1tsp per 25 gallon. My question Is it a one time dose in the beginning or is it something I need to dose every few days like the dr Tim’s product?

If the fishless fuel is an ammonia source, add enough to measure 2ppm ammonia.

My question is once I get it to the 2ppm ammonia do I need to keep dosing it every few days to feed it or just let it run its course?

I'd suggest dose it much like the Dr. Tim's instructions. I'd get your ammonia up to about 2.0ppm. When your tank can take 2ppm and convert it to zero in 24 hours, that's a big indicator of when your tank is "cycled".

Good luck!

Awesome thank you. The directions on the bottle are very misleading
