Dom I hear you. The only reason we came up with testless cycling was to remedy those aquariums that seem to never cycle. We know that bacteria do predictable things in water, we had to find out what part wasn’t complying (it was the testing only)
Had to find a new way just like when the heavy hitters/ rule makers in the hobby said fifteen gallons was the smallest one could go and still reef. Is it fair to say we presented them with some alternate proof as of 2019? cuz in 2001 they were just sure, mighty convicted sure.
This hobby and forum would be better served if the challenge material was a series of works and counterfindings/links by combatants. The threads could speak for themselves, the patterns. No personal attacks required, distractions. Work threads are the result of someone earnestly seeking new ways, taking time to test- they're rare (as in not many in this thread) because it's hard and accountable to ask people to put their $ on the line to test new ways. Work threads provide a form of proof for claims that no other verification method provides
