I actually looked into this but I read somewhere that it wouldn't work... Urea is in Urine and you need straight ammonia. Ammonia actually comes more from the fish's respiration rather than the wastes.

i dont think thats true

Aston, this is very much true. A good 80% of the ammonia from fish is excreted from their gills, not their urine. And, as I posted above, a healthy human's urine should contain very little ammonia, hence you would be better served finding a source of the pure stuff. Furthermore, urine from a healthy human also shouldn't have any bacteria in it, so you don't get any benefit there, too.
