I don't know for sure at what specific time it breaks down, but I try not to let any food sit in my tank for more than 12 hours or so. I think I have some seaweed salad that says to take it out after 6 to 8 hours. I, however, have a tendency to doubt a large corporations suggestions....think this is their way to move product...12 hours!!

If you're cycling, or just want to test; just a few flakes in a large tank may not even register on some ammonia test kits.
