Useable Ammonia

[Kevros]

Hi, I am just about to start a fishless cycle and have just bought some jeyes kleenoff ammonia, there is nothing on the bottle to suggest what it contains but I was wondering if this is acceptable ammonia to use to start my cycle? Cheers

Google says yes

 

[Hermithall]

Yes, that one is perfect for fishless cycling - it's hard to find too, where did you get it?

 

[Kevros]

Got it at my local hardware shop, £1.99 a bottle! Cheers guys, gonna now start my fishless cycle!

I'd have to buy it off the net with 4 quid postage costs, grrr! Happy cycling mate

I emailed the company to ask. They said it's pure ammonia, and it's 9.5%

If we used pure Ammonia ther would be a lot of dead fishkeepers around.

OK, a bit sloppy with my phrasing


What they actually said was (copied and pasted from their email)

Our Kleenoff Ammonia is 9.5% Ammonia & the rest is water.
