Ammonia?

[robyngunston]

Any ideas??
Any help would be great.

you can either use fish food or pure ammonia. i take it your using it for a fishless cycle

you can get in from homebase and other DIY stores under household cleaning products in the UK and i think boots sell it.

hope that helps

Hi jayjay....

Yes I am planning to do a fishless cycle...first time so wish me luck...well that's if I can ever find any pure ammonia down here in Scotland??

I tried Homebase this morning and the assistants there just looked at me as if I was a freak?
I tried B & Q, Tesco and Boots online but no luck Anyone know where you can get pure ammonia in Glasgow??

i dont know where to get pure ammonia, but you could probly get some manure and toss it in your tank,

i think manure would work... but do your own research on manure first, i dont want to ruin your fish tank with an idea that popped into my head...

The staff in Homebase in Swindon looked at me as though I was a village idiot when I asked where there 'Ammonia solution' would be! I needed some other stuff, and wandering around the store I came across the cleaning products aisle. In a simple white bottle, that just says 'household ammonia'

Description on my bottle is " 'Household Ammonia' Cleans, Degreases, removes stains. 100's of uses". Bar code number is 5 050595 251085. It#s a 500ml bottle.

Hope this helps!

i went through getting those same strange looks from homebase and b&q etc a few weeks ago. i finally got a bottle of "Kleen Off" from a non chain hardware store.

i did hear that big boots stores usually have them, even though its not listed online, but havent checked.

the bigger branches of Boots have it - white plastic 500ml bottle with a light blue cross on the label - "Boots Household Ammonia - Household cleaner and laundry aid"

Thanks Big Ian!

That is what I have heard...but to be honest I don't even think the Boots here have a section that sells household cleaners??

Thanks BFG!!! Thanks to your barcode....the staff at homebase managed to find their household ammonia.....can you believe in the same store I was in yesterday that claimed they have never stocked it??

 

[jayjay]

Thanks jayjay
For anyone else that is having problems finding Ammonia in the UK you can get it at homebase if you give them the following article code: 55362 (Don't listen to the staff....they think it doesn't exist)
