will the packaging leak while it's shipping?

Mine leaked and was almost half empty upon arrival

Is it a dropper bottle

No, however they do provide a plastic dropper that works really good

How often should i use this? everyday? i've read that adding too much ammonia at one time can actually prolong cycling time so i just want to be sure.

Use a liquid testing kit for ammonia daily when using this product. I kept my ammonia levels at about 2 or 3 ppm. Once the ammonia starts to decrease, test for nitrites. Keep ammonia around 2ppm until nitrates appear. Once nitrates appear, you should be pretty much done.

How many ounces is this? Nothing in description on volume. Dr. Tim's sells 2oz. and 4oz.

I received 2 ounces when I ordered it.
