I bought this Ammonia from Ace Hardware. I just want to double check that it's the right stuff to use. It says it contains 10% Ammonium Hydroxide. It also says it contains no phosphates. Please let me know. Thanks all. I also would like to know if there are any links out there for directions on how to do the fishless cycle. I had one linked to me before but I lost it. Thanks everyone for your time. Here is the pic of the ammonia.

Hi,
As long as there are no additives (scents...)that ammonia should work.
Here are a couple links on precycling

That is the exact type of ammonia that I used, and it worked great!:thumbsup:

You should be fine with this ammonia.

Cool thanks for all the help. Still looking for some more links on directions. I am looking through a few that you gave me. They seem pretty good. I'll look on the net myself too. I'm glad I got the right stuff though :) Thanks for your help.....the cycle begins!

Thanks!
