Check the stickies. There is a ton of info there for starting a new tank.

If the ammonia has any surfactants or perfumes or such in it don't use it. Give a good shake, does it suds up?

There's a guide on how to fishless cycle. THe link is below in my signature called: new empty tank. It'll walk you through it step by step. I"ve read that Kleen off ammonia is fine for cycling.

Heres the ammonia dosage calculator for the proper amount of ammonia to add to get you started- just enter your tanks size, strength of amm (%), & the desired level (ppm).
