calendar reminder set to track disease expression outbreaks, expected by June '25 (8 mos is the popup time we can see by studying a thousand new tank cycle outcomes, or by scanning the first page of today's disease forum posts, and finding out how old their tanks are by selecting 'find all threads' from the thread author. the majority tank age when sampling multiple pages is 8 mos or less until the losses begin, skewing into very high % for white rock/dry rock startups)
your cycle is that kind, as I'm reading.
the cycle isn't stalled. you're using old rules we don't use anymore to determine stall/pass.
nobody writes articles on the new rules, we can't even agree on what they are lol but rest assured your tank is ok for basic bioload carry so its no wonder the old rules still are the most conveyed to readers.
the key is disease management, for sure. the prediction is that by June of this year, well into your cycle issues being long gone there will be post history about fish disease/losses. that's a powerful emerging factor in today's reefing... it saves money to take note of these trends for sure. to not take note of them, keeps Jay very very very busy on rotation. his forum is the busiest on the site, thousands of prep skippers coming due for help.
a fascinating thing about reef tank cycles is the lore of the failed or truly stalled cycle that kills things
try and find one of those. find three, see if you can find three truly failed cycles from this year and post those links
that's key, it's lore. nobody has loss cycles here, or anywhere.
where the real losses are:

what updated cycling science does is relay to you that ammonia control is no longer an issue, engineers have that all figured out we don't have to. 100% of all cycle planning is in the disease preps, that will keep your fish alive.
