I have been to 5 local food stores with no luck on finding ammonia with out surfactants.. I can not find any with just WATER+AMMONIA any suggestions on any other routes to take?
Thank you.
I have albertsons brand ammonia, but if memory serves you guys dont have albertsons out there... Maybe someone on your side of the country can suggest where they found it.
i heard of a guy that peed in his salt water tank to get it started... but there is probably more harmful stuff than ammonia present so i don recommend that. you might put something dead in there. have any of your fish died recently? drop it in and wait. it should rot and create ammonia.
I picked mine up at my local Wal-Mart. I found it in the food section where all the cleaning supplies were I think. I will check the name of it when I get home.
Be careful because the cheap no-brand "clear" ammonia at my Walmart had surfactants in it. I couldn't ever find plain ammonia either...so I'm using the powdered stuff.
why dont you just buy a butt load of anachris from your local petco or petsmart.
there is a ton of benefical bacteria on there and will use all up all the bad things in the tank quicker.
