Sure it would start a cycle, then your son would do it, have his friends do it, the wife probably would if no one was looking and the seat was down..heck invite the neighbors over too......

well it is ammonia the starts the cycle.

throwing a chunk of raw shrimp in the tank and letting it rot will do the same thing...and it won't freak out the neighbors

Technically yes, this would work. Freshwater guys are known to toss a capful of bleach into the tank to make it cycle really hard. You could do this in your tank but we'd have to make fun of you. You would get some serious street cred as the guy who peed in his tank though.

I really hope you meant "AMMONIA". As bleach kills.
