News from the far tank, left in the careful hands of Beatriz, while I'm down in Brazil, hunting for mangrove seedlings: nitrites starting to go down, and, guess what, nitrates in deep plunge. The warning on Tropical Marine instructions, specifying that nitrates reading may be biased in presence of nitrites, proved very right, and more worth following than I did. So, behold, ye Beginner, I give you good tidings of great advice: while cycling, you may as well forget measuring nitrates until your nitrites start decreasing, otherwise you'll simply read bullshit!
Cycle proceeding. pH stable. Owner happy.
