The reasons I'm opting for the fishless cycle as mentioned above are: 1. Fishless cycling is faster 2. There is no need to kill, injure, sicken, or damage the gills of any fish 3. Leads to the growth of a much larger colony of good bacteria than would be grown by traditional cycling with fish. I think this stuff should be ok, it only contains ammonia and water. http://www.diggersaust.com.au/files/Aqueous%20Ammonia.pdf Cloudy ammonia also contains a clouding agent. http://www.diggersaust.com.au/files/Cloudy%20Ammonia.pdf

I use the cloudy ammonia from woolies....no problems so far, it is supposed to only contain nh3/nh4, nothing else. Do you currently have fish in the tank? Anyone else try the cloudy ammonia?

So I went to Woolworths and Bunnings to look for some ammonia to cycle my tank. Woolworths only sell cloudy ammonia and bunnings don't sell ammonia. I have read that you should only use pure or clear ammonia and that it should be free of surfactants, perfumes, and colorants. I think the cloudy ammonia contains surfactants because when I shook the bottle the ammonia foamed. Anyone know where I can buy some ammonia that is safe for cycling a tank? Also, should I check Woolworths Catalogue in the future for sales?
