Dosing Fish Sauce

[NeilFox]

I read a portion of another thread where a guy suggested dosing fish sauce (Vietnamese Nuoc Mam). I don't know if he was joking or not but another mamber chimed in and said he did the same,

The context of the thread had nothing to do with dosing, it was about ammonia I believe. I have a bottle of the stuff that is supposed to be all natural high grade. It is basically just a reduction of tiny fish aged in brine for about a year. It seams to be loaded with amino acids looking at the lable;

I don't know if aI would try it, but has anyone else heard of this and what the idea is behind it. I am intrigued by the whole idea.

Thanks

Neil

Do you have a link to the thread you are talking about, or to the specific posts?

The secret of asian food. I'd be afraid to try it lol

fish sauce is fermented fish maw (dried fish stomach), so perhaps dosed to enduce a cycle?

You'll get ammonia alright, but I'd be more concern what else you're putting into the tank. There are a lot simple ways to boost ammonia in cycling, IMO there is NO need to be creative and blindly put something that you're not 100% sure of.

OK. I forgot the thread, the comment was buried a few pages back though. I don't plan on using it for any kind of dosing. I just wondered if anyone had heard of it. It's new to me. Thanks for the replies...
