stated api=.5 again
find me api cycling threads that state readings other than .25 and .5~
handy thread because that reading is compared to another test kit, very different readings on titration kits... this frames the nature of zero point testing very well.
we get to see one sample, two different ammonia testers outcome
*if he stated one or the other test kit without the comparison kit, most reading posters accept the single stated reading as accurate and begin to mentally imagine why the bacteria are missing. we work from the angle that based on the description so far, life rock, the bacteria are already there (they're painted on for that brand of rock)
now all we need to know is has someone kept it underwater 30 days. if so, done. before we even see pics
*both those testers can be used at the same time for our adjusted cycle measure above***
even though they differ on bottom end readings, they don't differ on the ability to indicate a change over time...
