I want to use ammonia for cycling my fish tank, is there an ingredients list? If so, what's on it and is there a concentration percentage?

I bought this a year ago to cycle an Aquaponics System. It is just ammonia and water, no soap or scents. I think it is 20% ammonia. Worked great. A little bit goes a long way

I know it doesnt look like there are threads but it does thread on. FYI, If you have fish in your pond dont make the same mistake I did. I bought this same pre-filter and a pump and that was it. I found out 2 months later my ammonia is sky hi. I needed to buy a Bio filter and ended up buying a bio and mechanical filter all in one and didnt need the pre-filter anymore.

Yes, you can use ParaGuard in conjunction with Prime.On the official Seachem forums, here is what a Seachem support admin has to say about using the two together:"ParaGuard will not impact ammonia levels nor give a false positive reading....I also would recommend using Prime in conjunction with the ParaGuard in order to keep your fish safe from ammonia toxicity. You can dose with the Prime every 48 hours as needed."http://www.seachem.com/support/forums/showthread.php?t=3676

The box says the following regarding content... Total Nitrogen 30% with 3% ammoniacal Nitrogen and 27% Urea Nitrogen. It also contains Phosphate, Potash, Borob, Copper, Iron, Maganese, Molybenum, and Zinc. I hope that helps.

No ingredients are listed. It states "no ammonia and no alcohol" on the bottle. It works very well. No complaints!

I just attended a seminar from the guys that do the show "Tanked" on Animal Planet. They recommend (if additional filtration is needed) an outside filter that sits adjacent to the tank. These supposedly provide much more thorough filtration than an in-tank system, and dramatically cut down on the biomass debris from food that can cause algae bloom and fish kills.

I'd recommend adding KH and GH, otherwise you should be fine. Also, give had great luck fishless cycling with Dr Tims ammonia (really cheap on Amazon).

There is no ammonia on the product listing. The product works great on house windows and I would expect it to work well on exterior surfaces of automotive glass.

Well thats what I do now. I used to run the ammonia stones alone but when I saw that Marineland sells it already mixed I started to mix my own. You just have to wing it as to how much you need. Quantity of fish would be a factor. I have a Magnun 250 & mix apx 2/3 charcoal & 1/3 Ammonia stones. You can slice the filter open & reuse it or get a Magnum. Its worth it! http://www.amazon.com/Marineland-PC0250HSB-H-O-T-Filter-Magnum/dp/B000260FVQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1428698231&sr=1-1&keywords=magnum+250

The BettaSafe makes tap water safe, takes out the chlorine--AmmoniaSafe neutralizes ammonia when you cannot perform water changes. It makes it so it can't damage the fish but it is still actually in the water; it doesn't go anywhere. I keep a bottle of the Ammo Lock (similar product) on hand in case I ever have an ammonia spike and don't have any dechlorinated, same temp water at the ready. That reason, prolonged power outages and HURRICANE SEASON! You shouldn't have to add both, since your water change is removing some of that ammonia. Did that help any? You can always email Tetra on their website, they're not bad with replies. Good luck and bump up that tank size when you are able.

The bottle does not give a percentage such as Parsons. It states no phosorphus and the only ingrediant listed is ammonia-hydroxide.

I have not had a terribly good experience with this item so far. I've been battling ammonia issues in my 20 gal tank for weeks. I've cut back on feeding, the livestock is minimal at this point, and I've done water changes regularly. The tank had turned over nicely early on and replacement water is 0% ammonia, but testing indicates a really nasty ammonia issue inside the tank. I've been running this ammonia remover for 8 weeks now and I have not gotten any good results with it. I vacuum detritus during water changes and cannot figure out why this stuff won't work at all, but I will keep trying. Best of luck to others as I do not know what I might be doing wrong.

I have used it in a 120 gallon fish tank with large fish its perfectly safe for them. I put it in my filter to remove the ammonia that builds up. I would contact the company.

I am not sure of the 'type' of fish used, but I do know that is a 'deep cold water' fish and is free from 'mercury' because of the purity/depth/temperature of the water. That is the reason that I use Carlson Labs Fish Oil. No need for more 'mercury' poisoning our systems.

Hi, Because turtles are messy you want to establish as much nitrifying bacteria growth as quickly as possible. Bottom layer eheim Ehfi - middle basket Eheim Mech - top eheim substrate Pro Sintered glass spheres. ( regarding the top basket only make sure you put whatever media you chose in media bags) eheim media is superb I've used it for 35 years. It rarely needs replacing. If your tank has enough water depth I would add a powerhead or wave maker - the powerhead will add current to the water to loosen and free up debris and waste so the filter becomes more efficient and the water much cleaner. Marineland and Aqueon have excellent units at a great price. The Marineland pro 1200 is a best bet I have a few of them and they work like a charm. Amazon sells the 1200 for around $25 - list price is $89 so it's a steal. Hope this helps! Peter

The package does not state that it contains anything but food grade urea and diammonium phosphate!!! I will say that it brings a slow ferment to life immediately!!! Seems to really do the job with no off taste or any other side effects that I can see. We use it in every ferment at the start now.

Hi, Sorry I can't help you with the ingredients list for this particular product as I returned it the next day for the following reasons 1) The picture shows that that the item is LEMON but the written portion reads that it is clear, and you get the Clear. 2) The cost $20.99 is absurd (I did not look at the price at the time of purchase). I am a retired Chemist and we used pure Ammonia (NH3) in liquid form often. This product is household grade which if you google Ammonia you will find that Household Ammonia contains ~ 5 to 10% Ammonia, depending on the manufacture and is always mixed with water. Some manufacturers will add some LEMON scent to help dilute the Ammonia smell but not much good for your end use. Pure Ammonia would knock you unconscious in less than one minute. You can do your self a favor and go to Shoprite or any Supermarket and buy the same thing for 5 or 6 bucks as I did. Hope I was able to help you and Good Luck!!!
