I know this post is kinda old but when you buy Dr. Tim's one and only, does it come with the ammonia ?

Good to know. Thank you for that.. it would have been a mess loli wouldn't do it, the direction seem off. I used ammonium chloride in my 60 gallon cube, I added the 240 drops per the directions. when i tested the ammonia it was off the chart high. I would start with 50 drops, wait a hour and then test to see where the ammonia levels are. IMO
One drop is 0.05mL so 400 drops would be 20mL making it a much easier measurement. That said, in a 100g tank I would consider only dose up to 1ppm (10mL) to reduce the build up of nitrates.Dr tim's one and only says to add 4 drops of ammonium chloride per gallon of water? so if I have 100 gallon water I am dosing 400 drops of ammonium chloride solution?
Any chance you had a bottle from before the change in 2016? That used to be more concentrated and was 1 drop per gallon.i wouldn't do it, the direction seem off.

yes I believe I do. I think bottle said 1 drop per gallon.One drop is 0.05mL so 400 drops would be 20mL making it a much easier measurement. That said, in a 100g tank I would consider only dose up to 1ppm (10mL) to reduce the build up of nitrates.

If you have an older bottle, then you would do 5mL to get to 2ppm and 2.5mL to get to 1ppm for 100g water volume.yes I believe I do. I think bottle said 1 drop per gallon.
Thanks buddy I will check tonight after work.If you have an older bottle, then you would do 5mL to get to 2ppm and 2.5mL to get to 1ppm for 100g water volume.
Prime is a known adulterant of most nitrite tests, which is why we don't test for nitrite in a cycle assessment, only what ammonia does. false nitrite readings cause madness like the orson welles radio broadcast in the 40s about aliens. I thought that might be helpful to know in case you are still testing for the three common params in cycling, whereas only ammonia matters in all cycles.
