I have observed Bio-Spira consume about 1 ppm total ammonia by day 2 but nitrite to nitrate conversion lags behind.Hello All,
Have just started to cycle a new DD ReefPro 900. Am using Fritzzyme Fishless food and Turbo Start and am 2 days in. I have dosed twice with Fishless food on the back of the seneye readings which are as follows:
But the API result seems to be showing a different story.
I`ve seen a few posts on here about the difference between the Seneye NH3+ reading and the TAM as measured by the API Kit but nothing that really explains whether the Seneye is measuring correctly at that level and if so, the relationship between the 0.041 value and the 2(ish) ppm showing up on the API - which is what I would expect. Also, am I correct in assuming that by dosin with bacteria and fishless fuel that I would expect to the see nitrate and nitrite levels shown on day 2 of the cycle?
Hope that makes sense, I have only cycled a small tank previously and did that with live rock and sand which cycled so fast I missed it!
Thanks,
G
