What can you use other then pure ammonia for a fishless cycle. Could you use fish food or something else?
Anything cleaner?I agree with tamtam. A better option might be raw shrimp or prawn (let it rot in the tank; put it in a mesh media bag or clean nylon stocking so you can easily pull it out) but it's very messy and smelly.

I don't really want to buy pure ammonia.
Maybe i will try getting itAny reason? You're attempting to simulate fish waste, so clean doesn't exactly describe the process.
Janitorial strength is only 10% I believe, so its not quite pure. Plus a gallon is only ~$5
