![]() ![]() nice charted movement of ammonia + a timeline above, well done. the second dose of ammonia wasn't needed at all, but easily verifies again you're cycled. ammonia is fine, nitrite doesn't factor in today's reef tank cycling due to the chemistry of saltwater and how its different than freshwater cycles, you are done cycling. You are fully done cycling, anything you add now will live, you're into disease prepping solely. if you skip them, the fish have a 90% chance of dying by the summertime having nothing to do with cycling, see the fish disease forum for survival rates after skipping preps/promise am not making up scare tactics this % likelihood comes from the disease forum. This cycle is done, no more testing nor consideration about your cycle is applicable here, time to move to fish disease preps. None of your current test kits matter / this is a cycled tank look how fast ammonia moved down using 10x the bioloading a normal reef will ever see, and you did it in under a month which shows your fritz is perfectly live. Trying to stay positive, just looking for some guidance and some wisdom from y'all!ĭo a water change to export all the algae nutrients from the repeat dosing. My fear is Nitrites have remained the same elevated until a water change was done to assist it, if I do dose then I'll right where I started a week ago. Should I re dose algae barn nitrocycle to 1-2ppm, see if will process in 24hrs back to 0? So now what!? Assuming test today will show 0 for ammonia and nitrite as trending.
