I used those as well. I just wish they made them to read higher concentrations. All and all I am a big fan of fishless cycling as it really allows you to push the ammonia level way farther than you could with anything living in there.

Also I don't know how you are testing for ammonia/nitrates but just to keep things simple while cycling I found the cheap multi test strips to be the easiest. There is no need for high level accuracy when cycling IMO. Just need to know that the conversion is actually happening.

If you added bottled bacteria you may already be processing the ammonia. Test for it when you add it then test a couple of times a day. Ot should diminish and more or less go away by the next day. I had a tank cycle that quickly just last year. I was amazed. I used bottles bacteria and...
I think over the course of a day or 2 it would work itself out. The main reason I tink the salt makers want it premixed is to avoid anything settling, or precipitating out of the mix before itbis fully dissolved. This is probably less of an issue on the initial fill as you are not quite...
I have seen it done both ways but the mechanic in me is a stickler for following instructions. I am pretty sure all salt mixes recommend mixing the water before adding it to the tank. Then again if you don't have anything else in there???

I have not had any fail me yet. I suppose my turn will come. I suppose it may be because mine are cycled daily turning the return off and on during feeding. Perhaps I will learn my lesson someday but, as of now my return nozzles are not deep enough to over flow the sump if the check valves...
