I’m a bit confused! I’m in the process of setting up a 29 gal QT tank for new fish. I know I can’t seed a sponge from my DT as it is still sitting fallow (til March 10th). I got an HOB filter and a heater. Also bought some Dr Tim’s One & Only to seed the QT but now I saw on his website that I need to add Ammonium Chloride to “feed” the bacteria until I add fish. I checked R2R and the comments are all over the board re; how many drops of Ammonia need to be added. (My bottle says 4 drop/gal but reefers are saying that’s too much. Apparently Dr. Tim changed the concentration on the Ammonium Chloride. Can I avoid the ammonia step by waiting til the day before I buy fish to add the One & Only?
I’ve got the Prazipro & Coppermine ready to go once the fish get acclimated but am not sure about this ammonia step.
