just been to homebase and found ammonia. anyone wanna run me through how much to put in a 25 gallon tank and how often.

also is it ok for plants to be in tank while putting ammonia in?

Zoe :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
 
i think rdd told me it took around 1ml to raise 5 gallons to 5ppm, so you should put in around 5ml i think
 
HOLD ON!!!!!!!!

Does the bottle say pure ammonia or a certain percentage of ammonia?

Mine says 9.5% so I need to put in 10x more. (Mines from Boots though.)

The guideline I use is 5 drops 100% ammonia raises 10 gallons to 5ppm.
So that's 50 drops for my 35L (9-10g.)

Also try not to go anywhere near it when it's open, I do it from arms length and don't have to endure the fowl smell, well more then a smell more like seawater going up your nose and into your mouth but worse.

I know I did it too.

I tried to warn you, but it's too late :p.
 
To be safe, you can just add a little to the tank, measure it and see what you're working with.
