lets see what it does tomorrow, that's very clear above good deal. its fun to race cycles btw lol/ 5 weeks/ aquarium forum humor
you have been patient compared to most.
the best approach is a full water change to drive your reading to calibrated zero, meaning our first picture is what your test reads in a tank we know for a fact has no free ammonia.
causing that much of a color shift on file, then slightly up for the other shot, is how we can use those tests differently to show a clear cycle.
waiting for a potentially full on read above to go down is how the tests are normally used, its how cycles get stuck based on testing issues. no clear range shown, all green shots.
remember at any point you can begin actual reefing. this wrestling here is what we do when you want a non digital ammonia tester to allow the start.
I would bet 150 pages of cycle thread work your tank will handle what you throw at it
have a plan for fish disease. even as I type that most wont adhere but we lose about 60-80% of reef fish by buying the best specimens at the lfs or online, then inputting them into a tank that hasn't set up a fish disease prevention approach.
you are long past cycling, and into disease control but only if you want to put down the tester and roll based on submersion times that cycle charts show.
