It provides the ammonia needed to feed and establish nitrifying bacteria before fish, plants, corals, or other invertebrates are introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuikCycl must be used with a compatible live bacterial culture because it does not contain the complete bacteria needed to cycle an aquarium by itself. Brightwell recommends pairing it with MicroBacter Start XLM for marine systems or MicroBacter Start XLF for freshwater systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initial dose of four drops per gallon—or 1 mL per five gallons—is intended to establish approximately 1–2 ppm total ammonia. Aquarium cycling must be verified with reliable pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate testing. The aquarium is ready only when ammonia and nitrite test at zero and nitrate is detectable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRODUCT AT A GLANCE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Type: Fishless Cycling Ammonia Source\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Brightwell Aquatics\u003cbr\u003eSize: 60 mL\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For: New Freshwater and Marine Aquariums\u003cbr\u003eInitial Dose: 4 Drops per Gallon\u003cbr\u003eAlternative Dose: 1 mL per 5 Gallons\u003cbr\u003eTarget Ammonia: 1–2 ppm\u003cbr\u003eRequires Live Bacteria: Yes\u003cbr\u003eSafe for Occupied Aquariums: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicroBacter QuikCycl gives aquarists a measured ammonia source for developing biological filtration without exposing livestock to a toxic cycling environment.
