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.

In my tank I'd be more worried of my Tusk fish chowing down on my little weenie!

Yup. Ammonia bleach, not chlorine bleach. Being a chemical engineer I sometimes forget that my names for things can be a bit different.

I am not sure I would want to shop at a Calgary store that recommends ****ing in your tank. I can just see it now.... Well not really.
