If an ammonium ion is bonded to let's say chlorine for simplicity sake, and NH4Cl is created, can nitrifying bacteria come in and still create nitrites and nitrates from the ammonia if it is bonded to the chlorine? I am asking this because I am planning to make a schematic for an aquaponics set-up and I want to balance the amount of ammonia in the water as possible, in my case with a base not chlorine, in order to be able to add more ammonia at once to the system without the water reaching toxic levels. Thank You!
