Agree to doing a large water change and it’s done, the testing just isn’t needed at this many weeks you’re past the duration a cycling chart shows.

here’s a perfect diagnostic reef that compares to this reef here at five weeks



notice he fed only. He didn’t add cycling bac and was done at thirty days. This reef here today is older, fed and has had bac added through multiple sources.


Regarding the ammonia here don’t concern over it, the reading reported above needs TAN conversion off the instructions and then it’s ten times lower, and even after that it’s not digital so it would be ten times lower even after tan lol. don’t worry about non digital test reads here the cycle is done due to well know duration rules for wet cycling items.
