After putting my filter start in can I put ammonia in instead on the fish as it says on the packet and continue dosing everyother day of the filter start along with the ammonia? Or should I start again ive put the wrong product in :(
 
Yes you can. You can also put the ammonia in without the filter start. The results will be very similar.

At the top of this forum section is a link to the Beginners Resource Centre. Click on that, and then click on the link to Fishless Cycling. I suggest you use the Add & Wait method.

Since you already have the Filter Start, you may as well use it, but many forum members have no faith in most of these products. I used a different product claiming to do much the same thing, and found it made no appreciable difference.

Brilliant, going to continue adding it just because its already open and being used so it cant do any harm and hopefully may help slightly... off to buy some pure ammonia now I feel rather useless assuming that it would have ammonia in it already!

Homebase, in the Household Cleaning section. :good:

Others on this forum have used that without problem. I used Homebase. So long as it doesn't froth when you shake it (like a kiddy's bubble stuff) it'll be fine.
