Need to find pure ammonia in San Antonio- anybody know where?

[NickC5FE]

Just as the title implies, i am almost through my cycle and i am tired of trying to figure out how much to "feed" the tank with flakes. My ammonia is coming down and my nitrites are at almost 2 ppm, so i want to find some ammonia (not pee)- to add to the tank. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thank you

If your ammonia is coming down, nitrites on the rise... Why do you want to add ammonia? The cycle you described implies that you are about to see a rise in nitrates. When this happens, and ammonia and nitrites are zero, your cycle is complete.

I don't like adding flakes as a means to speed a cycle. When you stop you have to introduce a bio load that equals the flakes in order to keep your bacteria fully functional.

Let her ride, when your nitrates start rising and the others are zero do a water change and add a fish.

Well, if thats the case i think i was confused. I just didnt want the bacteria to starve, and i thought i needed to keep up the ammonia until i saw trates. I dont have trates yet. I will let ya'll know! Thank.

I tossed in 2 raw frozen shrimp when I started and ammonia then nitrites went thought the roof.

You're on your way. If you really wanted to you could add a chromis once the ammonia is zero, probably better to wait until your nitrites start south.
