fishless cycle

[brookie]

everyone is talking about amonia in a bottle im doing a fishless cycle with fish food is it cheaper or easier to purchase amonia?

 

[semper fi]

with adding the food you need to wait for the food to be broken down to ammonia through a natural process. with adding ammonia you get an immediate rise in the ammonia levels. just jumpstarts the cycling process by cutting out the wait for the ammonia to appear.

need to use 100% ammonia free from perfumes or dyes. if you shake the bottle and it bubbles or foams up it is not pure ammonia.
