Right Or Wrong Ammonia?

[Revenantwing]

I bought a random bottle of ammonia not really checking. Not sure if its the right one. Its clear and its called "Clear Ammonia" from the company "Austin's". On the back it says the active ingredient is Ammonium hydroxide and it contains no Phosphorus. I am hoping to use this for a fishless cycle. Is this the correct type?

Is the ammonium hydroxide, or whatever it was, the only ingredient? No dyes or anything? I it's the only ingredient then it's the right ammonia.

 

[Revenantwing]

yup the only active ingredient was Ammonium hydroxide!

Oh right. I think I forgot about the shake test because it's late.

Shake it. If it foams, run away screaming. If it only has air bubbles it's fine.

and its clear too so yea no dyes

itl have soap perfumes etc that may not be listed on ingredients and youl have to redo your whole tank

 

[Revenantwing]

anything close to soap bubbles? o.o

 

[Bettababe1011]

If it bubbles like that, it will destroy your cycle before it begins. That stuff would kill almost any organisms, and that includes future fish.

You'd have to scrub the tank and start over.
