if it does not say any other components besides it and does not foam when you shake it, then it is...

one word of advice... do not overdose ammonia otherwise it will take longer to cycle (currently cycling 5 gal).

Funny (not haha funny), we add ammonia to kick off a fish less cycle, but adding too much can kill the bacteria.

I got mine from the local vet. You can probably get them at walmart in the pharmacy section.

Here's how I handle anything that needs a dropper.

I get disposable eyedroppers at walmart for like 12 for 3$. Then I fill the dropper with the med, ammonia, water conditioner ect... then I take a sharpie and lable what it is. The big bottle of whatever it is goes in 'storage' and then I have the little handy dropper for it.
