So I was cycling with my tank tonight and I use Dr. Tim’s one and only per the instructions for my refer XL 425 after rock and hold 95 gallons overdosed on the ammonia chloride. It’s a 2 ounce bottle and I should’ve only used a third supposed to count 4 drops per gallon good luck with that anyway I put 2/3 of a 2 ounce bottle of ammonia and when I should only put a third what should I do at this point starting out my first day really good. Thanks Jeff

You could do a water change, but I think if you leave it alone it will work itself out.

Don’t panic too much.

Leave it be I did the same thing it took a little longer to cycle it out but was perfectly fine. You could also throw in a little more of doc time bacteria if u have more. Not a huge deal though maybe a little longer wait is all. I think it took an extra week for me.
