There are now two ways to begin a cycle in a new aquarium!  Traditionally we have used fish to produce waste that converts into ammonia to feed the beneficial bacteria.  This can create a lot of damage and stress to these fish.  There is a better way! Using Cycle-Right, you can now add chemically-clean ammonia directly to the aquarium. By monitoring the ammonia level regularly, keeping it between 1 and 2ppm, you can cycle your tank safely and efficiently without causing harm to any aquatic creatures in the process. Keep away from children. Do not use while fish are in the tank.

Directions: Add 1ml per 10 litres of tank water then test ammonia levels.
a) If between 1 & 2ppm, wait 4 days.
b) If below 1ppm, add more Cycle-Right & test again. (1ml per 20 litres of water increases ammonia by 0.25 to 0.5ppm.) Repeat until ammonia level in your tank is between 1 & 2ppm. Wait 4 days.
On day 5, test ammonia levels & top up as described above if required. On day 7, start testing daily for both ammonia & nitrite. If ammonia levels are below 1ppm, add more Cycle-Right as above. Once ammonia & nitrite levels test zero for 4 days in a row, stop adding Cycle-Right. Wait 1 day & retest. Nitrite & ammonia should now both be zero. Your tank is now ready for fish.
