Fritz Zyme Fishless FUEL 59mL – Jumpstart Your Aquarium Cycle Safely
Starting a new aquarium? The Fritz Zyme Fishless FUEL 59mL is the perfect solution for quickly and safely cycling your tank without using live fish. Designed to pair perfectly with FritzZyme® Live Nitrifying Bacteria, this formula provides an ideal ammonia source to feed beneficial bacteria and establish a strong biological filter before introducing aquatic life.
By simulating natural fish waste, Fritz Fishless FUEL kickstarts the nitrogen cycle, helping prevent deadly ammonia and nitrite spikes once fish are added. It’s safe, consistent, and suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Key Features:
- Safe, Controlled Cycling: Provides a clean ammonia source to establish your biological filter before adding fish.
- Protects Livestock: Eliminates the need for “fish-in” cycling, preventing stress or harm to fish.
- Pairs Perfectly with FritzZyme Bacteria: Optimises the growth of nitrifying bacteria for a stable ecosystem.
- Accurate Dosing: Easy-to-measure liquid formula designed for precision and control.
- Versatile Use: Works for both freshwater and marine aquariums.
- Small Bottle, Big Impact: 59mL size treats up to 2,000 litres of water depending on dosage.
Directions for Use:
- Shake well before use.
- Add 4 drops per 3.8 litres (1 US gallon) to achieve approximately 2 ppm ammonia.
- Test ammonia and nitrite levels daily.
- Re-dose as necessary to maintain around 2 ppm ammonia until nitrite is detected.
- Once both ammonia and nitrite drop to 0 ppm within 24 hours, your tank is fully cycled and ready for fish.
💡 For best results: Use in combination with FritzZyme 7 (freshwater) or FritzZyme 9 (saltwater) bacteria to seed and stabilise your aquarium faster.
How It Works:
Fritz Fishless FUEL contains a pure, measured form of ammonium chloride that mimics fish waste without introducing harmful compounds or odours. When added to an empty aquarium, it provides the energy source needed for beneficial bacteria to grow and colonise surfaces, filter media, and substrate.
This method ensures your tank’s nitrogen cycle is established before any fish are introduced, creating a safe, balanced environment. It’s a reliable, humane, and scientific approach to starting new aquariums that protects aquatic life from harmful ammonia spikes.
Suitable For:
- Freshwater aquariums
- Saltwater and reef tanks
- New tank setups
- Aquarists using FritzZyme bacteria or similar cycling aids
Directions & Dosage
To bring aquarium to 2 ppm ammonia: Add 4 drops per One U.S. Gallon (3.78 L) or 1 tsp (5 ml) per 25 U.S. Gallons (94.6 L) DO NOT USE WHEN LIVESTOCK IS PRESENT.
Fritz Fishless Fuel Ammonia Solution is to be used when performing a fishless cycle. Add required amount of Fritz Fishless Fuel liquid ammonia solution to reach desired ammonia level (Fritz recommends 2-4 ppm). After adding ammonia add FritzZyme Nitrifying Bacteria and test daily. Once ammonia and nitrite levels are reading zero, livestock can be safely added. Continue to monitor ammonia and nitrite on a regular basis.
- Use along with nitrifying bacteria (FritzZyme or TurboStart) as a food source
- No equipment restrictions necessary
- Odor variations are normal; some lots may not have a discernable ammonia odor
- Contraindications: DO NOT add Ammonium Chloride to an aquarium with livestock present
- Overdosed? Perform small water changes if needed to dilute
- Test aquarium water with an ammonia test kit with a range up to at least 4 ppm
- NOTE: Be careful not to use too much ammonium chloride. Raising ammonia levels above 5.0ppm may actually slow the cycle time.
