Bah! Thanks to the wonders of crappy test kits I can't tell if I'm cycled or not.
My ammonia test is seachem. It uses a tiny "dot" which changes color. 2 weeks ago it was bright blue (off the charts), but today it looks like its zero or pretty darn close to it (like I can tell the color of a 2 mm dot!).

For nitrite, also seachem. I have to assume the chemical went bad as a vendor threw it in for free, and instead of a pinkish color I get a pinkish-brown. So who knows.

For nitrate, I used a Red Sea test. This reads 0.

Phosphate is also Red Sea, and that read .1 or .2. I was hoping for zero since I used all RO and very clean/cured rock, but I guess I can deal with that for all the sand and rock.

So who knows. I'm guessing I'm cycled in a month with my 150 cured LR, but will wait a few more anyway. And yes, the Salifert tests are on order!

So - what to get first? A few easy softies or a pair of clowns?
