the rate of new cycling reefs is set to increase to astounding numbers, we are at about 5 new cycling posts per day across forums and it’s increasing due to the ease of today’s cycling products. They work
they let people get fish, fast, and those fish live as normal for months. that's the trend, click anyone's new reef post and if you find one that didnt go that way, link it.
cycle umpires/advisors on the board routinely post nitrite lethality studies/links to new cyclers in spite of searchable articles here stating nitrite is neutral in display tank reefing.
this thread can be the final proof in the matter regarding nitrite toxicity, we can determine here if new cyclers ever need to own the kit for the entirety of reefing. They can use this thread as a nitrite concern reference.
My opening request is simple:
prove consequence exist.
post one link from any forum, any year, that you think demonstrates nitrite toxicity and we must see something in the tank dying, or gray water, or stink/unable to control smell etc you can't just pick a random API nitrite post from six million online and sell us that API is all of the sudden perfectly right in every stated nitrite test.
If this quorum can't link any typical reef thread showing nitrite toxicity, then I'll move to cease scaring new hires with out of context links that do not involve reef tank cycling.
Azenkendae, can you post that link example using a reef tank? Its merely one example, you can pick it from any decade from any reefing forum online
One way nitrite matters in cycling we read here in this forum is by conflating nitrate tests and causing a misread/ if nitrate testing is core in a cycle assessment, and you believe your api nitrate kit would be accurate other than for nitrite then that's a +1 for measuring nitrite.
can anyone find a lethal nitrite reef tank post though? what if we make a small paypal bounty, would that bring out the web detectives
How do we know api nitrite is correct when measured? has anyone here benchmarked it against another meter? does it work better than api ammonia worked for a million testers?
