FritzZyme Fishless Fuel Ammonia Solution 2oz
FritzZyme Fishless Fuel Ammonia Solution 2oz
FritzZyme Fishless Fuel Ammonia Solution is a liquid ammonia source designed for fishless aquarium cycling. It helps provide the ammonia needed to feed beneficial nitrifying bacteria before fish or other livestock are added to the aquarium.
Fishless cycling is a safer way to establish the biological filter in a new aquarium because it allows the nitrogen cycle to begin without exposing fish to harmful ammonia or nitrite levels. FritzZyme Fishless Fuel is a great companion product when starting a new tank with FritzZyme live nitrifying bacteria.
