I have Carribsea Life rock, Carribsea Live sand and Fritz Turbo Start.Looks like you're reading it correct. Couple of questions:
-what have you got in the tank i.e. live rock, sand filter media?
-what was the cycle started using, ammonia chloride, fish food, shrimp etc?
-did you use any bottled bacteria?
Hmm i was thinking that too as its like between the 2Im guessing ammonia is about .10 everything else looks correct.
Yea it's seem to be pretty good, i mean either all this stuff worked too well or idk lol ill still wait a month then add some CUCThe Fritz turbo start is supposedly super fast in helping to cycle an aquarium so you could be looking good! I'd dose ammonia again personally to double check, I'm about to do my 2nd dose on my new set up to confirm a completed cycle!
The idea behind these bottles bacterias is that you don't have to wait a monthYea it's seem to be pretty good, i mean either all this stuff worked too well or idk lol ill still wait a month then add some CUC
The idea behind these bottles bacterias is that you don't have to wait a month
With regards to CUC, do you already have fish in the set up?
With the API test kits, ammonia always looks like it is above 0. Best bet is to test fresh saltwater next to your tank water and compare the two. To me it looks like 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites. Also remember, the live rock you used is supposed to be painted with a bacterial that activates once it hits water.......I used the same rock. Not sure how well it works though lol.

I think testing fairly regularly should still be done even with a badge, I've had a few that literally never changed colour even with ammonia spikesThat's the reason I always recommend a Seachem Ammonia Alert while cycling. It help me to not start testing everyday. You can see the change of the ammonia level right away.
Yes I would definitely go fish first, the cuc need something to eat, leftover food etc will be perfect for them!Have a fi
I have a fish in quarantine ready to add, maybe i add that then wait a month for CUC
