that's still hinting that a water change saved your tank, which it did not. it merely exported the adulterants that made the test kit spike in the first place.
resolved initial and common ammonia spikes linger on these cheap test kits, nobody knows why yet
seneye does not have this problem when calibrated, which is how we know to pinpoint it back to cheap test kits with lag times documented in seneye vs api ammonia resolution comparison threads linked in my prior false alert thread
reading the several instances of false alarms there will quell concerns here because all presentations are carbon copy the exact same in all instances: a symptomless post-cycle reef tank is alarmed by api, red sea or seachem cheap kits and not one loss happens before, during or after the entire event. and extra bottle bac is always sold during the event
in the thread posted, nine pages of false cycle fears caused solely by cheap test kits and not one single time by a calibrated seneye, nothing helped the 9 month old reef tank where the badge was showing 8 ppm for a month straight, don't be at the whim of known misreading test kits or you will be back in this boat next week.
that kit is controlling your confidence, not the actual science of cycling where 100% of seneye owners would never be in this boat because those calibrated meters aren't tripped up like the cheap kits are, and they don't have any lag time at all in reporting true post-cycle control over ammonia.
you never had an issue whatsoever that required correction, bottle bacteria, or a water change, it's why your tank looks the same every day even through the event.
keeping that badge in your tank is asking for doubt and to be redirected away from disease controls which have been 100% skipped and we still await payment for that. you can clearly see in Jay's disease forum that stocking with mixed pet store species gets a partial or total fish kill 80% of the time, within 8 months of setup.
when that time comes, a fish loss or a total crash from multiple fish kills when you weren't at home to remove the bodies, I guarantee you that you'll believe a priori ammonia noncontrol did it, therefore allowing you to further skip past disease preps we spoke of right at the start of your initial cycle.
holding onto continued doubt about your cycle is going to lower your enjoyment of reefing.
removing that test kit and never running ammonia again on this tank, because you don't need to, will increase your enjoyment of reefing and allow you to maybe head off the disease wipeout 80% likely to happen one day within the stated timeframes we can garner by reading how old the tanks are within the first 3 pages of Jay's disease thread (click on the name badges, select find all threads, see their first thread to establish tank age and disease controls attempted if any)

the statement was losses within eight months, there's one just a mere +4 more months out.
