    Yea test kit is best. Where did you read a scientific article that copper throws off an amonia test. scientists use tests. nitrate and phosphates are in everything and so is arsenic. Cycling a tank properly takes weeks. You dont need to change water that often. Not to sound enen more rude...

    Hey touchingstoves i like seahorses too. most cyano is from too much phosphate build up. Most phosphate is fromm food and poop. For sea horses you probably want a really good skimmer to get the poo out. Organic carbon dosin could help with that but it is one more thing.
