Add 1 Capful (5mL) for each 10 gallons of new water.
*Instructions to treat high levels of Ammonia
Be sure to reduce feeding until ammonia and nitrite is no longer present and any dead livestock are removed. If high levels of ammonia and nitrite are not the result of the initial nitrogen cycle, it is best to reduce the levels through a partial water change and use TankFirst as directed.
1. Test ammonia with an ammonia salicylate reagent test kit rather than Nessler's reagent to get an accurate reading of amount of ammonia present in water.
2. Add 5 ml (1 capful) per 10 gallons of water to treat entire system for each 1 ppm of ammonia or nitrite measured on test kit. Keep pumps and filters running.
3. Wait 10 minutes; re-test ammonia concentration in aquarium water and repeat treatment if needed.
4. TankFirst can be safely re-dosed every 24 hours.

Fish have olfactory receptors in 2 pits on their snout which are used to find food, spawning grounds, and much more.
We do not add any chemicals to coat the fish or cause fish to more rapidly produce their slime coat. Healthy fish even after being caught with a fish net will naturally produce their protective layer of slime. Therefore, we prefer not to add any chemicals which could pollute the fish tank.
