Answer 1

You can buy houshold grade ammonia (that's about 2% w/v ammonia) from Bi-Low, Coles or Woolworths. Look in the cleaning section.

If you want more concentrated solutions (eg 25% w/v sometimes known as "880") it may be obtained from specialty chemical companies or some industrial cleaning manufacturers. Expect them to check out your credentials to ensure you have a legitimate use - they will want Drivers Licence/Photo ID, Name, Address, etc. This is required under the "Substance Diversion" requirements of the PACIA agreement which operates in Australia and also under the Health Dept Poisons Regulations in Queensland.

For cleaning purposes the 2% solution will suffice. If you wish to clean mold of a fish tank, I'm assuming the fish tank is empty - use 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (available from pharmacies) and rinse well.
