We had 55gal tank for many years and, after spending time reading this forum, I don't know how I managed to keep them alive. I wasn't doing anything "right"! But, we hadn't had a tank in over 10 years so Santa brought me a 10gal starter tank to play with (small since there are issues with the floor stability in our rental house). I'm starting from scratch and want to do it right. I tried cycling with API Quick Cycle and 3 fish, but that was a disaster. Within 3 days they were all dead. That was a week ago and now I'm going to try the fishless cycle.
I had trouble finding ammonia and ended up with this. But the label doesn't say what percentage it is. I researched "aqua ammonia" and it looks like it is ok for my needs. There are no extra additives, it does not suds up when shaken.
So, is this ok? Can someone tell me what percentage it is so I can use the Calculator and get this cycle started?
I've attached the Safety Data Sheet. I see now that it says Ammoniac, anhydre, but Google isn't being very helpful with that.
