Where to buy ammonia?

Ok....I've got the tank and i'm ready to start the fishless cycle. I looked all last weekend for the ammonia with no surfactants in it. My question is, where do you buy the surfactant free ammonia?

The only store I could find was True Value. They had a gallon (!) for $4.

I've found ammonia at my local grocery store in the cleaning isle, called "clear ammonia."

Make absolute sure you get pure ammonia. No color, no scents/perfumes, and no surfactants.

I bought some from Ace (their brand). It says nothing about perfumes or surfactants, just that it has no phosphates. Guess thats the one.....I'll give it a try

Walmart in Canada carries straight up ammonia. Likely in the US as well.

In the US, Wal-Mart only carries ammonia with surfactants.
