you will have to choose between old and new cycling science, that's a rough choice agreed due to conflicting views between the two paradigms. reading that linked example thread w help in pattern though to ease concern about what these test kits do. 90% of people in that thread had the same concerns you did
but, you can also click on their name/select find all posts/ and see every update their tank ever had after I made a call on it during the time in that thread. you will see: not one single crash, no losses, this reinforces the updated cycling science mode in my opinion.
--I don’t know what the source would be. Nothing died. Nothing entered the tank. Nothing was touched or changed.
that's the critical detail for sure. that's why you can rest easy knowing this wasn't ammonia.
that tank above is back to clear; it can be used now.
if it acts up again post the pics here before any action taken and we can guide it accurately. this was a misread + action event for sure.
any study of the provided example link of false reads also has this recurring pattern: added a little prime
that affects reading accuracy. the right mode original was to take no action based on ammonia, never use Prime in reefing, throw it out (see chem forum threads why you won't use it/search em)
prime does nothing to help you in reefing, its a sham product. if you did have a real ammonia event caused by dead and rotting animals, it would not have helped.
