urine to cycle tank?

[Jkoziatek]

is this possible... has anyone actualyl done this?... results?

Theres no way to know how much actual ammonia your putting in the tank if you try this old myth so you can't accuratly guage when your tanks cycled. Additionally your putting a LOT more in your water than just ammonia.

To make a long story short....Don't do it.

Taking a wizz in the tank and dropping food in to rot are VERY VERY poor ways start a stable healthy aquarium.

if you want to do a fishless cycle use ammonium chloride and a few starter bacteria from a cycled tank

Um, I like fords. Thankyouverymuch. I wouldn't pee in my fish tank. I wouldn't want to put my hands in afterwards if I did it. Fish pee is ok.
