we need someone to remove their fish and inverts and corals in an aged live rock and aged sandbed tank
have baseline hanna measures in place or seneye, before disturbance
then stick attack it into mud/ see how big the spike is.
Randy told me once in chat that nitrate has no storage zones in reef tanks, so I'm amazed to imagine ammonia having any. he did not rule out half-degraded proteins in the sand or suspended bits of particulate waste being able to reduce further into nitrate upon breakdown; just that the gas itself isn't stored/bound to matrices etc. I would assume the same for ammonia, hope he chimes in.
Taricha is working on cycle stress tests for article goodies but this takes a while. I'm sure when he releases some findings it'll be solid good work like the priors.
