Thanks for checking it out, I like to condense these highlights from the pages:
True live rock can be assessed without ammonia testing, which it's delicate organisms don't like. We can trust it to relocate bacteria always without assistance, I provide some fun testing such as draining my 13 yr old reef to the sand for thirty minutes full air contact
We talk about how to control cycles, opt in or out of them and lastly it's a no test cycling thread. We're simply submersion time cyclers. Everyone is testing wastewater after ammonia additions, getting varying degradation rates...so we don't factor what the tests read interim thirty days submersion time, post- bottle bac and ammonia
We only factor what the system can do after a full water change back to zero params, after submersion time goals are in place. Once it's been hydrated with boosters about 2 days most of the bac are plated in place per testing from linked Dr Reef threads.
There's a system of cycling that doesn't use test kits and doesn't fail to cycle all tanks by the same safe date. Fill n go, can't stall, can't mess it up. It's the rush jobs that need to be dosed precisely
