Team, doesnt even have to be your own tank can be google searches. A tank we've actually owned with pics though is better, some details we can identify in what constitutes a stalled cycle
this is a continuing study in the ever-changing rules for cycling reef tanks and for this post, we want to see the bad outcomes among all the various cycles uploaded to the web.
lets start by rounding up pics or links of a stalled cycle, let the api's rain down
*The heart of this thread is not to report api stalled at .25 in a tank of fish swimming and eating fine (all examples of a stalled cycle are this test-only fear)
in this thread, we want to see the dead fish. Can anyone simply link an example of a failed reef tank cycle? surely there are some from 2006 that was a rough year in cycling as I recall~
In order to make a big picture view about reef tank cycling, we have to see the downside, the obviously failed cycle of gray water and floating dead fish and smelly water (hallmarks of true ammonia poisoning).
as you search, ask yourself if today's cycle training carries a heavy implied consequence for noncompliance. arent there six or seven actions listed that will cause a stall? well there's a million cycled reefs reported on google now, lets see the consequential ones.
if you can find one in the last ten years I'm impressed
if you can find one sole example in the last two years I'm amazed, we should have a lot more consequences on file for something claimed to us this finicky, I'm thinking.
