notice how all problem cycle threads don’t use hanna digital ammonia or seneye
not any of them, not ever. they’re all api or Red Sea test kit posts, not failure to carry bioload posts
Study this collection of misreads:

how are those different from this thread? they’re the same. Some of those are two year stocked reefs posting about stalled cycles
notice how in this thread the cycle is in doubt, just like those, because the title directed the troubleshoot that way. self fulfilling prophecy in cycle troubleshooting
have you ever seen one instance of a cycling chart in a book or a print where the ammonia line doesn’t drop by month two? That claim only happens in reefing forums. It’s the only place, and they’re all driven by api and Red Sea cheap test kit misreads
what does it mean that a two month stuck cycle can’t be replicated by anyone using a digital meter and a reef tank? Do we ignore that fact, ignore the living life in the tank, and still call this a stuck cycle
***when a thread title doesn’t steer the troubleshoot, we can see myriad bacteria bloom reefs on the site who weren’t told the cycle was broken, they were told to buy UV and it worked
this is a false stuck cycle, like all the rest. As soon as this claim is replicated using digital gear, not analog tests, on a reef tank, and we can read that link we could consider the cycle broken. as long as non digital test kits drive this hysteria we can’t claim that.
here’s an alternate thread where ammonia in a display wasn’t counted as a broken cycle recently

do this basic search for bacteria blooms, notice how they werent handled as stuck cycles since the post title didn’t direct them to
read any of those posts to see an easy win using UV light.

Sustained Ammonia spikes are misreads
The reason you think your reef tank can’t control its ammonia is due to false training from old cycling science. That and you don’t own a seneye on the tank in question: if you did, you wouldn’t ever think your ammonia was out of control...

Is ammonia typical in an established tank?
I regularly stopped testing my water but occasionally out of curiosity I take my water to the fish store to get tested by an AquaSpin. I know I’ve heard mixed things but results seem to be consistent and I know people who swear by them. So for some reason ammonia was measuring at 0.4 and...
