Hey Guys .. I've been going through your forum for ways of doing a fishless cycle and all the links I've checked start with using Pure Ammonia as the first step to getting the good ammonia eating bacteria to grow in the tank. I'm from Singapore and we do not have access to Pure Ammonia here. Was wondering if there is any other product in the market that would help with the cycling. I know of a few products here that help with introducing good bacteria in the tank, but without a good source of Ammonia is it any good to buy these products ?
btw, I plan on making it an only shrimp tank starting with cherry's. Don't plan of getting more than 10 of them. The tank is 2ft x 1ft x 1ft. Not really sure how many liters / gallons that is. Its been running for about a week now and all I've been doing is adding some fish food flakes hoping that that will get the ammonia started in the tank once it decomposes. but it seems to be going very slow as the ammonia level after a week seems to be just 0.5ppm.
Any advice on what i can do to speed this up a little ?
