And they’re now trending opposite of our 29 pages: doubt, stalled cycled, dead bac.
all it takes is one doubt post and the desired status of stalled cycle we’d began to pry away is now cemented
The power of non digital readings cannot be understated that poster is roughly 99.9% likely to buy more bottled bac now, seneye right there says hundredths ppm but they’ll ignore it and always, always, always always take the scary doubt mode
when someone has two kits, one reading bad one reading good, why not just flip a coin and choose the bad one? For that reading to be correct we have to assume water bac did bad in water, they don’t, or we’d have one example here of floating dead fish.
if that risk existed we’d have at least one angry update here. We have none because bottle bac works. When someone takes water bacteria adapted for eons to live in various activity states in water and then they concentrate them, and sell them to us in water, that works. It doesn’t fail to work anymore than someone who bottles up atmospheric air and sells us a bottle marked: air
what originated as a fine comparison between digital and non digital had now trended into fear and re purchase very soon.
the state of accurate ammonia measurement is in flux in our hobby, since we always have to factor pH and temp to derive free ammonia, a seneye‘s temperature and pH values come into play and that’s two more params where a misread allows an endpoint nh3 reading that could be off pinpoint. But in the grand scheme:
how does bottle bac work here, with fails or 100% wins?
how many folks here posted bad initial non digital readings but were for sure ok at fish time?
how many of our seneye audits failed? You can plainly see even if seneye is one hundredth off base due to pH or temp mis calcs, seneye consistently reflects the status of life in the tank and Red Sea and api indicate total doom that never manifests.
Occasionally Red Sea and api accurately reflect the life forms running happy in a reef tank, seneye does reflect the visual status we can see in reefs 99.99% of the time even if it’s off slightly.
nobody in the hobby has a perfect nh3 measuring device because who here has a confirmed perfect pH device? There’s always some flux in the final read, but seneye takes reliability by a mile compared to a kit reading so dark there’s no way it’s indicating a safe water setting.

I won’t be able to today, I don’t even have any fish food yet. Not my first tank, but I haven’t had one in many many years. I’ll start tomorrow, and assume a Jan 19th finish.
