{"product_id":"ammonium-sulphate-cycling-150g","title":"Cycling Activator – Ammonium Sulphate 150 g","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmmonium sulphate is an essential mineral supplement for starting your aquaponic system. It initiates the nitrogen cycle by providing an ammonia source for nitrifying bacteria, even before fish are introduced. In closed-loop systems, this cycling stage is indispensable for creating a stable, healthy ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 g sachet of soluble crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormula: (NH₄)₂SO₄ (ammonium sulphate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides ammoniacal nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-soluble for rapid dissolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eRole in the system\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nitrogen cycle is at the heart of every aquaponic system. Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia (NH₃) into nitrites, then into nitrates that plants can absorb. Before introducing fish, the system must be \"cycled\" by providing an artificial ammonia source to allow bacterial colonies to develop. Ammonium sulphate fulfils precisely this role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick start\u003c\/strong\u003e: speeds up nitrogen cycle establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEssential precursor\u003c\/strong\u003e: feeds nitrifying bacteria before fish arrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual input\u003c\/strong\u003e: provides both nitrogen and sulphur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple dosing\u003c\/strong\u003e: pre-dosed sachet for a standard Myfood system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-time use\u003c\/strong\u003e: only needed at system startup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eHow to use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a first dose to the system on filling day, then a second dose 15 days later. Regularly check ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels with test strips. The cycle is complete when nitrites drop back to zero and nitrates appear. Fish can then be introduced.
