Aquarium Advice Addict
As we all know, the ammonia used to fishless cycle an aquarium has to be pure with no surfactants, dyes, perfumes, detergents, etc... However, it is not always easy to tell what a bottle actually contains. I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of what you know is good...and what to run away from-
Pure
-Blue Ribbon brand Clear Ammonia (what I used, purchased from True Value Hardware)
-Ace brand Janitorial Strength Ammonia (most commonly used, from Ace Hardware obviously)
Do not use
-LA Totally Awesome Pure Ammonia (has almost everything you don't want...even though it's called pure)
Tell us what you used!
