Ammonium chloride
Add 4 drops of solution per gallon of aquarium water to achieve an ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration of 2 mg/L-N (2 ppm). Do not exceed 5 mg/L-NH3-N or NO2-N in the aquarium during cycling. Use an ammonia test kit to monitor your progress. 1 drop equals 0.05 ml so this bottle will treat 300 gallons.
Does this bottle have an expiration date or does it never expire ?
Yes. We recommend adding ammonia 3 times during the fishless cycling period and a 2 ounce bottle is enough to dose a 100 gallon aquarium 3 times. So plenty to cycle your 36 gallon tank.
Does this solution contain chlorine? The label says it's NH3-N but name is Ammonium chloride.
The product is ammonium chloride dissolved in pure water. It does not have any chlorine in it. The ammonia is measured in units of NH3-N

This was my first time starting an aquarium with actual ammonia. I fish-in cycled my first tank years ago and had always used media from that to seed. I had two small tanks I wanted to start up from scratch, and was very happy to see that Chewy carried this product, so I could get it at the same time I picked up other needed supplies. One tank was cycled and done in only a week, the other took three weeks. Love that it comes in a dropper bottle for easy dosing! It was easy to hit the 2.0ppm target.

The directions on the bottle are wrong. It says 4 drops per gallon. It should say ONE drop per gallon. I had to dump my entire tank and start over becasue the ammonia was so high. Very disappointed in this product.
