TomCool · 01-03-2006, 12:15 PM

Hey guys just preping for my 55 gallon, I've heard about just putting in raw shrimp and letting it rot for ammonia, but what product can I buy that will do the same thing that you guys would recommend?

Make sure it is PURE ammonia. Check ingredients.

Some ammonia contains soap to help when used for cleaning, or products that make it smell better. I bought mine at wal-mart. Brand name is "Great Value" clear ammonia, all purpose cleaner.
