To show an example of what I'm meaning:
Lasse would you post the link for the aquarium you saw posted that indeed stalled. Not a high bioload aquaculture tank, a home reef tank with it's typical ratios of water to rock to fish %
the link for the example
Not your summary of it, let me do my own takeaway and verification of stall... please post the independent link proof thread for us to read.
There will be a life consequence with a true stall, it's not just a test kit readout. Any system that can't carry a common reef bioload, with daily feed, and metabolic totals daily, is on a *compounding* ammonia issue mode it's not like a real loss cascade holds at one reported level for days.
Things die in the unready reef, fact. I'm not buying into 20 yrs of claimed totally symptomless no-death ammonia 'crashes' from the hobby BUT I do believe you of all people here has seen the real crash, the event where ammonia or nitrite suppression levels were reached
An aquaculture scientist sees those rare events in settings other than a reef thread which represents all tanks we'll ever consult for cycling challenges.
lemme see the thread. Not a university study link, or book entry: a real crashing cascading reef example you saw, pinned to certain ammonia stalling.
* if this is a tank you saw in person and are relaying I still believe you 100%. Today's ratios and setup habits copied among peers are ready by day ten except for extreme cases, that's my claim. Any test container other than a common big old messy reef tank is subject to variations that may alter test validity, in my opinion. Gotta be a real home reef event, the rate claimed 14+ day/ can't move low level ammonia one single bit/ stall. That'll be a messy tank, crashing, that won't carry life. Consequences other than just a bad test reading will be in place
Ammonia stalling won't happen in the typical home setting of a common normal thirty gallon reef tank set up messily like res publica will do/ extra inoculation/ then feed it like we do and wait ten days then get a calibrated seneye to show me it's stalled. That's the required proof bar, if not a very convincing thread link I can read instead.
