Does anyone dose ammonia and/or how would one try?
So, after an interesting discussion on nitrate dosing and looking at my Walt Disney coral and seeing it slightly less colorful than I have seen it in others tanks, I have decided I want to learn about and then try dosing ammonia instead of buying 20 damsels. Nitrate additives I see abound and...

that’s all I’m wanting, that’s res publica in the home
see their seneye baselines
and now added ammonia spikes then goes down, thats all am wanting to see. Then do experiments with them, show how the machine would work for the average tester.
Is anyone with a mindstream or seneye ammonia reader willing to co-fund a cycling experiment with me
Might I suggest you establish a more scientific design? First, You need a null hypothesis, (what exactly are you trying to prove or disprove)? This needs to be extremely specific and include quantitative measures for success. second: experimental design 1. All test environments need to be as...

I promise Neon am not trying to derail the thread, I wanted to quickly link Jon M’s particular seneye tuning there. We chat a lot so you’ll have to scroll but see what he did with his seneye as proofing
In my opinion that’s remarkable seneye baselining in both a dry start reef test and a matured reef then back again, then he proofs out dr tims bottle bac, then he proofs out lack of surface area in a qt setup to run at hundredths vs thousandths nh3, then back to thousandths again in a running dt. its the most trustworthy proofing calibration I could imagine. @Jon Malkerson you did dang good work man showing common context.
**I know for Dan and Neon the chemistry charts for pH and nh3 can be used as proofing, it lines up on paper agreed. I still want to see the real life changes inside a reef tank the meter can indicate, for the complete picture
Jon got his meter to truly indicate some form of precise dynamic change by proofing tiny variations in running aquarium setups
