Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey guys!
I'm a noob, sorry in advance.
I just bought my first aquarium, a little 10 gallon.
I read the article about fishless cycling with pure ammonia. Sounds great. My problem is, I can't find ammonia anywhere! I've checked two grocery stores, my Ace hardware, a couple of general stores and Walmart. I found ONE bottle of ammonia at the ValuMart but it was "lemon scented". Sheesh.
Where do you guys find the stuff?
So I was wondering, is there another way? Apart from sacrificing some fish, I mean... If I just let the tank do its thing, without fish, and without adding ammonia, will it cycle?
I have a couple plants in it. A melon sword, three marimo balls, and an onion.
Plus, the water is very brown from the root I put in there. How often can I change the water if I'm wanting to cycle this tank?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
