What would happen if you filled a tank only with Dr. Tims? this is a random stupid thought I had but im really curious about it.

Haha the title pulled me in. I am an expert on stupid ideas, but got to say yours has me just shaking my head a bit 
Not even going to ask why this thought came to you lol.
My random guess as to the result is you would soon have a tank full of foul smelling nasty "water".

A super duper instant cycle!
Realistically, most would probably die off due to it not having anything to feed on (of course that death would lead to nutrients for the rest).
If there is no saltwater in the bottle, then what @Cell said, as there is nothing to make a tank out of.

If you only used dr tims you would not have a saltwater tank but just a container full of dormant bacteria

Man same here. It would be awesome if we could have glowing nitrifying bacteria or algaes!

As far as I know, that dinoflagellate thing should be doable, though without a pump. I think the pump would chop them up.
You can get these cute little dinosaur-shaped aquariums full of dinoflagellates. Once every week or so (I forget exactly how often), you dump out half the contents and replace it with clean water and food. If you instead dumped it into an aquarium, and doubled the volume of liquid every couple weeks, you'd eventually have a whole tank full of 'em.

hmm, what if I mixed it to add salt to the proper levels, pump on, and had some phantom fish feeding to give ammonia, what then?

You would have less money and a tank to drain.

what if I put ammonia in the water and mixed up some salt in it

Not sure if there’s any salt or any other minerals in it. The only ingredients I can find say 100% nitrifying bacteria. But that doesn’t seem correct.

Without knowing exactly what’s in it, results are probably going to be less than desirable. But if you’re intent to find out, and have money to waste, try it on a small scale and let us know.
